St Patrick's Day 2027 in Dublin as a Day Trip
You don't need a hotel for the 17th, the cheapest day was £125.85 with 6.8 hours in Dublin.
St Patrick's Day 2027 is a Wednesday, the 17th of March, and the parade in Dublin sets off at 12:00. Most people assume that means a hotel, so here's what we found when we priced it as a St Patrick's Day Dublin day trip instead.
Doesn't it need a hotel?
No. The festival runs Sat 13 to Wed 17 March, but the parade is on the 17th and that's the day you need.
On the board the cheapest way to do it goes out from Liverpool and home to Manchester, £125.85 all in. That's £87.00 of flights and £38.85 for the airport, immigration and transport on the day. You're in Dublin from 09:45 to 16:30, so 6.8 hours, and the parade starts at 12:00.
Is the cheapest one the best one?
Depends where you live. From Manchester both ways it's £127.85 on Aer Lingus, 08:10 out and the same 6.8 hours. From Edinburgh it's £130.85 with 8.8 hours in the city, which is £5 more than the cheapest and two extra hours, though you're out of the door at 06:30.
Where does the parade go?
It starts at Parnell Square, heads down O'Connell Street, crosses O'Connell Bridge and carries on through the south side of the city. That's all in the centre, so you're not spending your hours getting to it.
Will the fares still look like that?
Those were checked on 22 and 23 October, so treat them as a guide. Fares on the board move a lot, two we were watching went up by £14 and £20 inside four hours on 9 Nov. Look again before you book.
The rest of the Dublin day is in our day trip to Dublin from the UK and the live fares for the 17th are on the St Patrick's Day event page.
