The show must go on. For the second year running, St Patrick’s Day festivities have relocated online, with some of our most acclaimed artists, performers, and curators readjusting to celebrate our national holiday.
Indeed, the theme for this year’s official St Patrick’s Festival is ‘Dúisigh Éire! Awaken Ireland!’ It is exactly as it sounds a rallying cry of hope, asking audiences to cast aside the long, dark months, to come together (at a safe distance, of course) and embrace brighter days ahead.
So, what are some of the best cultural treats we can enjoy from our living rooms? Well, there are plenty of options, each one listed at stpatricksday.ie. Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit.
