Happy St. Patrick's Day


St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world. It is commonly celebrated for 5 days but the most awaited parade is on March 17, which is held in different counties of Ireland.


Street music and performances make the city loud and jolly. Many group of people participate in singing, dancing and playing their instruments. Seeing these talented people encourages most visitors and locals to tag along. Some pubs and bars have acoustic bands to keep the spirit of music alive. I’ve seen a nice alvarez guitars for sale that will sure fit in the occasion and I wonder if I can hop on the stage to jam with them. Oops, I forgot I don’t know how play a guitar. Nonetheless, there any fun filled activities to enjoy and watch all around Dublin. So I guess, I'll settle on that.

Here's are few photos captured last year's parade.







Greeting you all from the emerald isle, Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

    I have witnessed St. Patrick's Day Parade only once, it was a lot of fun though, I do not know why these days, I do not bring myself anymore to the plaza to witness the parade, which is very engaging, with all the costume and music
