St. Patrick’s Festival has revealed its programme for 2022 from 16th to 20th March, after two years of postponements and cancellations around the festival and the parade.

Now a firm fixture on the calendar in Dublin, St. Patrick’s Festival has pivoted in recent years to a modern programme of music, art, comedy, theatre and live entertainment, and this year is no different.
