FOR SOME PEOPLE, March 17 wouldn’t be St Patrick’s Day unless they covered themselves in various forms of the Irish flag and headed into town for the parade.
For others, that’s the last thing they’d ever want to do. If you fall into the ‘others’ category, do not fear as we’ve got you sorted.
From a 16-mile walk to a female-focused music showcase, here are four events worth checking out on the 17th.
When: Sunday, 17 March
Where: from Dun Laoghaire or from Howth
This Paddy’s Day, put your walking shoes on for the 14th Aware Harbour2Harbour Walk. You can choose to walk from Dun Laoghaire Harbour or Howth Harbour, while the 16-mile route is sure to leave you feeling great (and maybe a little smug).

When: Sunday, 17 March

If you don’t mind heading into town on St Patrick’s Day but want to skip the parade, why not enjoy a pan-Asian inspired brunch to the soundtrack of R&B and disco?

Whether you’re spending Paddy’s Day in your own city or visiting another one, a walking tour is a great way of finding out interesting things that you may not have otherwise known.
In Dublin, there’s a free walking tour organised in Howth, an evening guided tour of The Hell Fire Club and a tour ‘in the footsteps of St Patrick‘, to name a few of the events taking place, while in Cork there’s a self-guided tour through the city.
