    Home of St Patrick Festival

    Where better to celebrate Ireland’s patron saint than the very place he called home? Armagh and Down are where Patrick founded his first churches way back in the 5th century.

    And it’s here that the Home of St Patrick Festival takes place, with a lively showcase of the best culture, music, song and dance from Northern Ireland. Highlights this year include the early morning Dawn Light event at Navan Centre and Fort, Brian Finnegan and friends at St Patrick’s COI Cathedral and the St Patrick’s Open-Air concert with the Tumbling Paddies and guests.
