The Dublin St Patrick's Festival 2013 takes place over five days and culminates in the Dublin St Patrick's Day Parade, which is held on the 17th of March and will involve hundreds of floats, costumes and dancers... oh yes and hundreds of thousands of onlookers.
 
This year the festival will coincide with the year of The Gathering and it is hoped that more people than ever will come to Ireland to join in the festivities. This year, in the spirit of getting people involved, the St Patrick Festival organiser have added The People's Parade - an opportunity for the public to take part in a procession along the traditional St Patrick's Day parade route.  
 
The St Patrick's Festival also has a rich and varied assortment of activities including poetry, dance, visual art, filmmaking, history, literature, music and theatre. 
 
Events over the course of the St Patrick's Festival will include:
 
 - Funfairs located at Merrion Square, Wolfe Tone Park and Custom House Quay.
 - SuperValu Big Day Out at Merrion Square for all the family
 - Irish Beer Craft Festival
 - A walking tour - in the footseps of St Patrick
 - Music at the National Concert Hall 
 - Festival Treasure Hunt
 - St Patrick Festival 5km Road Race
 - Dublin University Boat Race
