“I Love Ireland” Festival and St. Patrick’s Day Parade

St. Patrick’s Day in Tokyo is celebrated every year in two parts. The first part is an Irish cultural festival at Yoyogi Park—the official site outlines the day as including: traditional musical and dance performances, Irish sports (hurling, perhaps?), and an Irish gourmet booth where you can try Irish stout, stew and steamed oysters.

The second part, the annual St.Patrick’s Day Parade, takes place Sunday along Omotesando Street and starts at 1:00pm.
