Ireland Week in Madrid

(Text from the Official Tourism Website): In recent years, around St. Patrick’s Day (17 March), Tourism Ireland has presented a full programme to celebrate the Irish culture in style and its connection to Celtic roots in Spain. The popular St. Patrick’s Parade through the city centre, an initiative by the musician Bras Rodrigo, stands out among the activities, which included more than 600 pipers from all over Spain in last year’s edition. In 2026, the events are held from 10 to 17 March.
