| This St. Patrick’s Day,
do it Irish style as we travel to the Emerald Isle to celebrate St. Patrick’s
Day in Dublin. It’s a whole week of parties, performances, acrobatics,
drumming, street theatre, treasure hunts, family carnivals, comedy and
more. Over five days, 4000 performers and 1 million people will be celebrating
Ireland and its patron saint. Treat yourself to the timeless beauty of
Dublin, the spectacular spirit of the music and people, and the pleasure
of traveling with friends.
Day 1 & 2 -March 14 After an overnight flight from the U.S., you’ll arrive in Dublin in the early morning and check in to your posh hotel. You'll have some time to rest and relax or explore Stephen's Green, Grafton Street and Temple Bar. This evening, local musicians will take us on a “Musical Pub Crawl” performing tunes & songs while telling the story of Irish music as well as showing you a few of their favorite pubs. You'll be receiving a gig guide outlining what's on in Dublin for the next few days so you can decide where you'd like to raise the roof tonight. Failing that, the buskers on Grafton Street always have the most amazing repertoires!! Meals: Breakfast Day 3 - March 15 Dublin is among the most important music cities in the world. Today in the late morning, you’ll explore the city of Dublin on foot -specifically its rock and roll landmarks, significant sites in the development of the musical career of U2, the Corrs, Westlife, Sinead O'Connor, Bob Geldof, Chris de Burgh, The Chieftans, The Dubliners and many more. Then rest up for tonight, as you’ll be getting another taste of the Dublin musical scene in one of Dublin’s legendary venues. Meals: Breakfast Day 4 – March 16 Today we head to the Irish coastline and Dublin Mountains to take in the beautiful vistas, fresh sea air and maybe a few pints of some of the best Guinness you'll ever taste! Meals: Breakfast Day 5 – March 17 St. Patrick’s Day parade. The parade starts at noon and features a dazzling display of marching bands, floats and performance art. Following the parade, there’s the Céilí Mór on St. Stephen’s Green for more music and dancing. After trying out your best Riverdance impersonation, the pubs will be open for the traditional post parade crawl. Meals: Breakfast Day 6 – March 18 This afternoon, we’ll learn more about Irish culture as we participate in a traditional ceili. Ceili is a Gaelic word (pronounced kay-lee) that means party; specifically one with live musicians, dancing, or general merriment.
