With St Patrick\u2019s Day on 17 <\/sup>March quickly approaching, the countdown begins for Irish bars and pubs all across Manchester. If you\u2019re looking for the best ways to celebrate the occasion in Manchester, here are some brilliant options during the lead up and the day itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year Manchester is set to hold their 36th<\/sup> annual St Patrick\u2019s Day parade on 15 March, beginning in Cheetham Hill and running all the way across through Deansgate. The parade<\/a> is known to be one of the longest and largest running St Patrick\u2019s Day parades in Europe. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking to commence the celebrations sooner, many traditional Irish bars and pubs in and around Manchester have plans to host all kinds of events in the run up to the day itself. O\u2019Shea\u2019s, located on Princess Street, commence their Irish festival on Friday 13 March, offering rugby and live music all week, and will be running the festival village on St Anne\u2019s Square from Thursday (12 March). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday (15 March)<\/sup>, O\u2019Shea\u2019s will also be taking part in the Irish parade, with manager Paul Mackey explaining: \u201cSeeing the parade is a must. The atmosphere is so good. Everyone goes into the festival village too and is definitely worth the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cO\u2019Shea\u2019s has been hosting St Patrick\u2019s Day celebrations here for over 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declan McGeehan at Kennedy\u2019s is encouraging students to come along:\u201cIt\u2019s a day to be enjoyed. I know I went out and enjoyed it as a student so I would encourage them to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re wanting to visit a traditional Irish bar this St Patrick\u2019s Day, the options in and around Manchester are endless with the city boasting a huge number of Irish pubs and bars. All of which will be brimming with atmosphere come the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
