St. Patrick's Day

Celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day and Discover the Contributions of the Irish Community

Saint Patrick’s Day is an integral part of Montreal’s identity. Besides the annual parade, which takes place this year on Sunday, March 16, the day offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the city’s history, immigration, and the vital role the Irish community has played in shaping Montreal as we know it.

Our experts are available to discuss the traditions behind this celebration, its cultural impact, and its significance in Montreal and Quebec, where everybody is Irish for a day.
