Irish Celtic Jewels

Friday, March 6, 2009

With the 17th of March just around the corner, I'd like to wish you a very happy St. Patrick's Day. Here in Dublin, we celebrate this national holiday with a 6 day festival of music, performance and plenty of craic.

There's no shortage, however, of celebrations worldwide, particularly in the US, where you'll find festivals and parades in every city and even smaller towns. Check out some of the festivals I've featured below.

Slainte!
