Every year, the days leading up to March 17 buzz with excitement, as Ireland gets ready to launch nationwide St Patrick's Day celebrations. With business tourism and international travel still on hold, Ireland's 2021 celebrations will be online only — but a newly launched video has captured some of the flavour of this legendary celebration as we wait to welcome back visitors.

Traditional music and dance is an integral part of Ireland and often forms a key part of incentive programmes and conference social activities; by watching James Greenan & The Dixie Micks in action, you'll quickly find out why. The sheer energy and exuberance that radiates from every second of this short video is a reminder that while we wait to resume MICE activities, the cultural heart of Ireland beats on.



We wish you a very happy St Patrick's Day wherever you are in the world and promise you that Ireland's unique culture, stunning landscapes and friendly people will be ready and waiting to welcome you to the Emerald Isle when it's safe for you to travel.

The Meet in Ireland team is always ready and waiting to chat about opportunities for future MICE activities in Ireland — a world-class business tourism destination. Get in touch for information, advice and support.
