Decide whether you want huge international crowds (Dublin) or a more local vibe (Kilkenny, Galway, Cork, Limerick or small towns). Big city parades are spectacular but very crowded and tourist-heavy; smaller towns give friendlier, lower-key celebrations.
Hotels, Airbnbs and popular restaurants fill fast for St. Patrick’s weekend. Reserve lodging and any desired dinners well in advance to avoid long waits or ending up at fast-food outlets.
Check the official festival route and event schedule ahead of time, arrive early to claim a good spot, and have a plan for getting back to your accommodation — public transport and roads can be disrupted and crowded on the day.
March weather is unpredictable — pack layers, a waterproof jacket (anorak), sturdy shoes/boots, and avoid fragile umbrellas that fail in wind. Warm, waterproof clothing will keep you comfortable while you watch outdoor events.
Expect lots of people and alcohol; keep valuables secure, watch your drink, stick with companions, and steer clear of visibly intoxicated or aggressive crowds. Locals advise avoiding very central nightlife spots late at night if you want a quieter, safer experience.
If you want culture over chaos, attend festival events (music, trad sessions, céilís) throughout the week, visit local parades in nearby towns, or explore attractions (museums, distilleries, historical sites) outside peak parade hours.
