St. Patrick’s Day events 2020 back to listing

We send best wishes to our friends and colleagues in Ireland, as Parades and Festivals for St Patrick’s Day are cancelled as precautionary measures to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus.

It is very disappointing for so many people involved in making and preparing for such big events, but public health must be a global priority.

We also are mindful of the important role that these events play in the tourism economy. If there is financial support available in the wake of the epidemic, artists and companies must be part of those discussions.
