Celebrate St Patrick’s Day In Leeds!

Celebrate St Patrick’s Day In Leeds!

Given Leeds’ well-deserved reputation as a city in which there’s almost always something to do, you won’t be surprised to hear that anyone looking to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day this weekend is in for a treat!

March 17th is the day on which Irish culture and heritage are celebrated in all their glory in commemoration of Saint Patrick, Ireland’s foremost patron saint.

Today, despite only being officially recognised as a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated all over the world. In fact, it’s celebrated in more countries than any other national festival, with revellers typically enjoying public parades, traditional Irish music sessions, the wearing of green clothing and, of course, a glass or two of Irish beer or whiskey. 

There will be lots to do in Leeds City Centre this Sunday to mark the occasion, with a major St Patrick’s Day celebration planned. 

Organised by the Leeds St Patrick’s Day Parade Committee, the day will feature lots of free entertainment, including:

• The St. Patrick’s Day parade itself – join the procession at Millennium Square and take a journey through the city alongside a wave of colourful rafts and walking displays!
• Family fun in Millennium Square between 10.30am and 4pm, featuring a variety of performers and artists.
• Music from pipe and brass bands. 
• Refreshment stalls, rides for children and a bar for adults.
