St. Patrick's Day on Achill Island
In many villages on Achill there is a tradition of pipe bands, and on St. Patrick’s Day these colourful and compelling bands play a central role in celebrations.
From a 6am reveille, the bands march for most of the day – surely one of the longest St Patrick’s Day parades anywhere.
For visitors, a thoroughly enjoyable day can be had following the Achill pipe bands, pausing for refreshments of course and taking time to enjoy the spectacular scenery of Achill Island.
In the evening, traditional and modern entertainment is offered in many of the local hotels and pubs.
A more conventional St. Patrick’s Day parade takes place in Achill Sound.
