Since 1996 the Festival has grown from strength to strength bringing Manchester's Irish Community, musicians, writers, singers and performers together, giving people of all ages the chance to come along and enjoy the craic.
This year's St. Patrick's Day Parade - centrepiece of all celebrations, takes place on Sunday 17th March and promises to be bigger and better than ever.
