Time To
Celebrate
Two of the events that are worth coming to see are St. Patricks
Day and Orange Fest which was traditionally the 12th of July celebrations.
St
Patricks Day
March 17th is when the whole world wants to be Irish.
Northern Ireland has numerous celebrations, why not take the ultimate
pilgrimage at this time and visit St. Patricks grave in Downpatrick.
After years of controversy over St. Patricks day celebrations
in Belfast, it now holds one of Northern Ireland's largest events
and is set to become one of the worlds leading St. Patricks day celebrations. Book your hotel early for this as the best hotels book up quickly.
Orange
Fest
12th July is when the Orange Men march accompanied with marching
bands often described as blood and thunder bands. The largest celebration
is in Belfast and is not to be missed as the thousands of people cram
into Belfast city centre the drums echo through the streets.
Future
celebrations will see floats and people in period costume as the former
12th of July celebrations, now Orange Fest will see a more community
inclusive approach, with Catholics and Protestants celebrating together.
Again Book your hotel early for this as the best hotels book up quickly.

Northern Irelands Newest Attraction The Nomadic, one of the last remaining links to the Titanic was brought back to Belfast, where after refurbishment, will go on display for the general public. The Nomadic, carried wealthy passengers from Cherbourg to Titanic on the doomed ocean liner's maiden voyage, will remain at the Odyssey until tomorrow evening when she will be moved to a dry dock at Harland & Wolff to undergo an inspection. She was built at the Belfast shipyard alongside the Titanic, 95 years ago, served Titanic's sister ship Olympic, played a vital role in two world wars and served Cunard's great transatlantic ocean liners. |
