Limerick St. Patrick’s Festival 2026

Friday 13th - Tuesday 17th March
  • Colourful participants marching in the Limerick St. Patrick's Day Parade

Limerick St. Patrick’s Festival 2026 will take place across five days from Friday 13 March to Tuesday 17 March. The theme for this year’s festival is “Legends of Limerick”, celebrating the people, stories and heritage that define our community.

Limerick offers unique attractions with high energy live entertainment, spectacular parades, and cultural experiences with a strong emphasis on both local creativity and international flair. 

A special highlight this year is the inclusion of a FREE open air concert at Arthur’s Quay Park on Monday, 16 March, bridging the gap between the energetic weekend and the celebrations on St. Patrick’s Day itself.
