What’s on?

Entertainment on Rådhuspladsen

From 12.00 hrs and throughout the afternoon you can buy Irish coffee, Irish beer and stout, hot chocolate and custom-made St. Patrick’s Day cookies.

St. Patrick, this year played by actor Ian Burns, will present a show of traditional Irish folk music with the band Irish Harmonica, as well as enchanting dance performances by Dark Green School of Dancing and Copenhagen Irish Set Dancers. The music and dance will be on stage at Rådhuspladsen from 14.00 until the parade starts. Kids can have a special St. Patrick’s Day face-paint made between 13.00- 14.30.

Parade starts at 15.30

Lead by St. Patrick, the parade features Gordon Pipes and Drums, Bodhrán Band with the traditional Irish hand drum, Dark Green School of Irish Dancing, Gaelic Athletes Association, Irish Culture Association Denmark and Irish wolf hounds.  The parade organisers are calling out to all Irish speakers to join the new Pop Up Gaeltacht Cóbanhávan section to speak Irish together during the parade walk.

Everyone wearing something green is welcome to join the parade through the streets of Copenhagen, and greet the many on-lookers who help make this a festive occasion each year.
The Parade finishes back at Rådhuspladsen at about 16.10. Here you can listen to a final tune from Gordon Pipes and Drums and listen to tunes from Irish Harmonica in the festival tent.
