As part of the week-long 'Féile' celebrating St. Patrick's Day, the Irish community is hosting its annual St. Patrick's Féile Family Day on Saturday, March 12 at Jing An Kerry Centre. This is an excellent opportunity for families of all backgrounds to enjoy Irish culture and soak up the abundant multi-cultural richness our city has to offer. The Irish are a proud people, and are excited to show Shanghai all the great things about their country, including their copious musical and literary traditions.
The day will be full of fun and vibrant activities, including a parade and last year’s most popular event—a performance by Le Chéile Kids. A group of Irish children dressed in traditional costume will sing songs in Irish Gaelic and perform traditional dance numbers.
Head there in your best vibrant green attire and celebrate a beloved holiday.
Mar 12, 11:30am-4pm, Jing An Kerry Centre, website. See event listing.
