The Mayor's annual shindig has become a highlight of London’s cultural calendar. It brings together Londoners and visitors to celebrate the many contributions the Irish community have made to our great city.

St Patrick's Day is a chance to honour the lasting friendship between the British and Irish people. This event begins with a parade of Irish marching bands, dance troupes and pageantry, travelling from Hyde Park Corner to Trafalgar Square.

The action continues in Trafalgar Square, where the main stage hosts a world-class lineup of Irish acts programmed by the London Irish Centre. Plus there are lots of family activities, great food stalls and a bar to enjoy.
