Come to Belfast for a super St Patrick's Day sure to get your hands clapping and feet tapping.

The city will mark St Patrick’s Day with a colourful carnival parade and free concert on Friday 17 March.

Come along and see the streets awash with colour from 12 noon as the parade leaves Belfast City Hall snaking its way through the heart of the city centre to Custom House Square.

Community groups from across Belfast’s cultural spectrum will take part alongside professional and amateur performers, costumed characters, musicians and dancers.
