The Manchester Irish Festival continues to be one of the largest outside of Ireland, with a variety of events stretching across Greater Manchester. This year we warmly invite
you to celebrate with us our 23rd year of the Festival and the 28th St Patrick's Parade.
Please join us in O'Driscolls Marquee on Albert Square, where all proceeds go towards the running of the Manchester Irish Festival. We would especially love to see you on
the day of the St Patrick's Parade on Sunday 11th March.
On behalf on the Manchester Irish Festival Committee, I would like to thank all our
sponsors, volunteers and the support of the people of Manchester, whom make this
Festival successful every year.
A Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you all.
