Day 6, St Patrick's Day & Festival

St. Patricks's Festival Parade
St Patrick's parade is a "must attend event", in Ireland. I was lucky to witness the parade on my 1st week. The organizers have done a lot of preparation to support the 0.5 million people from all around the world. The Proper organization has made it into a smooth experience. As I said there are over half a million people watching the parade from the street side. It's best to be there 1 hour early so you can find a spot in the front row.

I stayed at the middle point of the parade route. It took around 45 mins for parade's front to reach that point. The waiting till will allow you to enjoy people watching. There are many tourists and locals who are dressed in green with happy faces to see. Here are some highlights from the parade.
