Dublin
Dublin and other Irish cities offer the penultimate celebrations. The city itself hosts a day-long festival featuring abundant live Irish music and hundreds of booths featuring Irish crafts and products. While you’re there, fill up on tasty dishes like Guinness-marinated tri-tip and corned beef sliders. Step out of the festival grounds to enjoy lively parades, pancake breakfasts, fun runs and galas. 

Belfast
Family-friendly fun is the key to Belfast’s St. Patrick’s Day parade featuring pipers and drummers, colorful street performers, elaborate floats and a towering St. Patrick. The parade concludes with a free concert at the Custom House Square. Other city festivities include a 10K run and a tea dance.

London
Business class airfare deals to London are plentiful right now, thanks to recently released deals from IFlyFirstClass.

The city is a terrific place to celebrate the day, partly thanks to Tourism Ireland's magnificent green lighting displays on London landmarks. London devotes a whole week to celebrate Ireland’s most beloved saint. Its parade is held on the Sunday closest to St. Patrick’s Day. The lively festival in Trafalgar Square honors Irish culture with an Irish food market, a film festival, a comedy festival and ceilidhs filled with dancing and music.

Moscow
For three days, Muscovites honor Irish culture with a vibrant event that includes a film festival, a documentary festival and more than 100 themed events. The celebration also includes the legendary music, theater, comedy and dance of the Irish Fringe Fest.

Auckland
If you don’t want to bundle up in scarves and coats for this year’s St. Paddy’s Day celebration, Auckland is the place to go. The city’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration includes a grand Emerald Ball, a fun fair with Gaelic football and Irish dancing and the vivid Huge Green Group St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
