The Parade will represent all the 32 Irish counties in their traditional colors besides London's Irish community and other Londoners.
The Trafalgar Square and the surrounding areas will have Irish dance lessons a vibrant food market, Irish language classes and St Patrick’s Day Film Festival in Leicester Square’s Prince Charles Cinema where you can see acclaimed Irish films.
Great Saint
St Patrick is perhaps the only patron saint whose memory is celebrated in such a large scale in London. Despite Protestant reformation curbing veneration of the saints, St Patrick commanded adulation as a bona fide evangelist. Through the wave of Irish immigrants who swamped to build London's roads, railways and monuments the love for St Patrick only multiplied.
Trafalgar
At the celebrations in Trafalgar Square, the free St Patrick’s Day festival brings alive the best of Irish music, its culture and arts. This year the St Patrick’s Day Performers will be from Irish dance production Riverdance besides cameo by Commitments and Irish folk group Kila.
