Visiting Sydney for St Patrick’s Day?
St Patrick’s Day, celebrated on 17 March, is marked across Sydney with Irish-themed events, live music and community celebrations. While festivities are centred around inner-city precincts, many visitors use the occasion as an excuse to enjoy Sydney’s harbour, waterfront venues and outdoor experiences.
Popular areas such as The Rocks, Circular Quay and the CBD are close to the water, making Sydney Harbour an easy addition to St Patrick’s Day plans.
