St. Patrick's Festival, Ireland, established by the Government of Ireland in November 1995,[1] is a major tourist attraction, aiming to showcase a modern and creative Ireland,[2] and has since developed into a multi day celebration which takes place annually on and around March 17, St. Patrick's Day - the national holiday of Ireland.
The principal aim of the Festival was to "develop a major annual international event around the national holiday over which the 'owners' of the festival - the Irish people, would stand proud."[3]
