Frothy green beer. "Kiss Me I'm Irish" t-shirts. Shamrocks aplenty. Fantastic, feisty festivals and perfect parades. Pubs gone wild. Sure, the global Irish diaspora guarantees a par-tay on March 17 in just about every urban metropolis, but to really do it right—you've got to get to Ireland. Dublin's St. Patrick's Day Festival is a rip-roaring good time, with music, theatre, family carnivals, comedy, street arts, visual arts, dance, and more… This is Ireland's biggest annual party, with 4,000 performers and 1.5 million spectators over 5 days. And the city's finest hotel-- The Merrion-- has designed a truly awesome St. Patrick's Day Getaway from EUR 655 per couple. The package includes luxurious accommodations for two nights (double room in the Garden Wing), daily full Irish breakfast, two grandstand tickets for the St. Patty's Day Festival Parade with a picnic box of snacks, and a signature Merrion "Black Velvet" cocktail upon arrival. Valid from March 16th- March 20th, 2006.
