St Patrick s Festival 2021.
St Patrick’s Festival is understandably going to be a little different this year, but that’s not to say the team behind the festival hasn’t created an amazing, world-class programme of events for us all to enjoy, at home here in Ireland and for our Irish family across the globe. Dúisigh Éire! Awaken Ireland! is this year’s theme, a clarion call to the Irish across the world to throw off the long, dark months and rise to embrace the brighter days ahead. It promises to be a positive and uplifting celebration of our incredible people, our beautiful island, our community bonds, our young people, artists, creators and makers and our diaspora across the world.

President Michael D Higgins and Sabina Higgins today marked ‘Nollaig na mBan’, a day indicating the end of the Christmas period, and a day to celebrate the contribution of women to society.
The President and Sabina tweeted words of recognition of the role women have played in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, and in caring for vulnerable members of society: Sabina and I wish a very happy #NollaigNamBan to all today, in particular to those women who are carers or care for vulnerable members of society; who support young people; or who are working in our essential services during these Covid times. We honour and recognise them all.
