Parade, Pints & Pubs - Dublin St. Patrick's Day 2026

A taste of Ireland all in one glass.  Take a tour and learn more about why Arthur Guinness in 1759 at this very gate signed a famously long lease - 9,000 years for the brewery site.  

Fish & Chips

Fish & Chips or simply "a chippie order' is the classic Irish/UK comfort food.  This flaky white fish in a crisp batter served with chunky chips (fries).  It's a must have once in Ireland.  I know it's my first & last meal on my trips to Ireland.

St. Patrick's Parade

This St. Patrick's Parade is one for the books.  I had a local experience when I stepped into the emerald heart of Ireland this past March.  This is more than just a parade, it's a weekend of warm pubs, lively traditional music, centuries-old stories, and inside access to the sights that make Dublin unforgettable.
