St Patrick's Day is a day of great celebration for many of the worlds major cities, however, if you happen to be in Brisbane for this year's event, there are many options to fully immerse yourself in the traditional Irish celebration.

The official St Patrick's Day Parade is an annual showcase of Irish culture and the community's contribution in Queensland. From 10:30am, the parade will march down Elizabeth Street and proceed to wind it's way down Edward and Alice Street before finishing at the corner of Alice and George.

This 20 year strong tradition features a convoy of colourful floats and some great, free entertainment for the whole family.

Join in the fun after the parade at the free Irish Fair outside Parliament House. There will be live Irish music and dancers, stalls, a sausage sizzle and fun for the kids!

The fun continues, of course, with more free entertainment at The Irish Club on Elizabeth Street. The array of city Irish pubs will be celebrating with live music and entertainment from Saturday 13 all the way until St Patrick's Day on Wednesday 17.

There's Irish Murphy's five-day festival and a week of festivities at Mick O'Malley's. As well as a Green Party at The Embassy Hotel.



For something a little different, why not board the Kookaburra River Queen for their St Patrick's Day Dinner Cruise.

The cruise provides all the fun of a good old Irish hooley with a three course buffet dinner, Irish dancing, live entertainment and a whole lot of trivia fun.

On Saturday the 16th of March, the cruise boards at 7:00pm for a 7:30 departure and returns around 10:00pm.

Prices and bookings are available on the Kookaburra Queen website.

It's easy celebrating St Patrick's Day in 'true green' Australian style in Brisbane City.
