Manchester Irish Festival
Manchester Irish Festival set to maintain its crown as Europe’s biggest Irish Festival
This years’ 2012 Manchester Irish Festival is expected to attract over 200,000 people to its two week, 17 day celebration. The Irish Cultural extravaganza is set to feature over 200 events at 56 venues, making it Europe’s biggest Irish event.
Highlights include the Three Day Parade weekend from Friday 9 March to Sunday 11 March and the accompanying Albert Square Irish Festival market. Just over 100,000 visitors are expected to converge on the city centre on Sunday 11 March to greet the annual St Patrick’s Day Parade which is now the biggest in the UK.
Join in the celebrations and check out the website for full listings of the Irish culture, comedy, heritage, literature, music, sport and theatre programme.
