Welcome to the Auckland St. Patrick's Festival Website
This year marks the 16th Anniversary of the festival! It is said that in Ireland the grass is greener and the people twice as friendly as anywhere else on earth. It's no wonder then, that in March the world turns a little green, as countries everywhere put on their own celebration of St Patrick's Day. Auckland's own St Patrick's Festival is an outstanding success - and sure why wouldn't it be? With over twenty percent of the population claiming Irish blood - and those with no trace of a drop still claiming the right to be Irish when the green is worn and the shamrock is wet - it's no wonder the Festival has grown as big as it is, and it is still only a spalpeen. Auckland is the first city in the world to celebrate Ireland's National Day. So come join us in this, the Ireland of the South Pacific, with a better climate, as we mark Ireland's great National Day! Navigate around the site to open up our little treasure trove of happenings planned for the days leading up to the 17th and the great day itself. The St Patrick's Festival is proudly organised by Crackerjack Promotions Limited and wouldn’t be possible without the grateful support of our Sponsors and Volunteers. |
