St.Patrick's festival
Saint Patrick is the patron of all saints of Ireland, and he is greatly admired by Irish people. So no wonder that on 17 March - Day of St.Patrick whole Emerald Isle celebrates this date with a big noise. Generally, it takes a whole week to celebrate Irish favourite holiday as the planners of this event give an opportunity to have fun for everyone - concerts, games, competitions, fireworks and attractions for children... People from many countries hurry to visit Ireland in these days as they know that will see a lot of interesting events, and Parade along city center is the most outstanding and colourful show. Hundreds of people take part in the Parade (not to mention all festival's staff), and hundreds of costumes are being suw; ten of huge figures are being made from a fabric, wood and plastic... It is a really difficult task to describe all the beauty of Parade. I advise you to come and see it with your own eyes!
