Plans for The Glasgow St. Patrick’s Festival are well advanced and the festival is sure to be even better than last year’s successful week long event.

This year, the 2014 Glasgow St Patrick’s Festival starts on Wednesday 5 March until Sunday 16 March with most events taking place in and around the Merchant Square and Merchant City area of Glasgow city centre.

The Glasgow St Patrick’s Festival esteems to promote and celebrate the rich Irish cultural heritage of Glasgow and Scotland.

The multi-generational Irish community in Scotland have through the years contributed positively to all sectors of Scottish Society.

The cultural dynamics of Gaelic music, language, dance and sport have enjoyed and continue to foster a rich Irish identity and culture in Scotland.

The festival looks to act as a vehicle to continue to celebrate this Irish tapestry while promoting and celebrating the cultural diversity of modern Scotland. Glasgow’s St. Patrick’s festival is open to all the citizens of Scotland. We look forward to seeing you during the festival.
