Ireland

Ireland’s national day is March 17, St. Patrick's Day.

Ireland's embassy brings a vibrant Celtic spirit to Washington, D.C., celebrating everything from traditional music and literature to contemporary Irish art and culture. Even without recent events, the Irish community in D.C. keeps the emerald isle's traditions alive through year-round cultural programming, making it a wonderful hub if you're into folk music, storytelling, and the warmth of Irish hospitality. It's definitely worth keeping an eye on their calendar—Irish cultural events here tend to be lively, welcoming, and the perfect excuse to experience Dublin without leaving the nation's capital!
