A Cultural Celebration of the Irish People's Inclusiveness and Diversity
St. Patrick's Day, in honor of Saint Patrick, is celebrated all over the world and is a cultural and religious holiday. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th, the traditional death date of Ireland's patron saint, Saint Patrick (AD 387-461). Saint Patrick was the first to spread the teachings of Catholicism in Ireland and he remains one of the most respected figures in the Irish Catholic Church. Today, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated all over the world. Instead of celebrates one specific ethnic or religious identity, it has become a celebration of the Irish people. culture, and inclusiveness.
St. Patrick's Day celebrations began in South Korea in 1976. In 2001, the Irish Association of Korea (IAK) began the first official St. Patrick's Day parade and celebrations, and now festivities take place annually on the Saturday closest to March 17th. This year, St. Patrick's Day celebrations will be held on March 19th (Sat.) from 1 P.M. until 6 P.M. at D-Cube City Plaza, Sindorim. The theme of this year's celebrations is, “Craic, Ceoil agus Cairdeas – Great fun, music and friendship.” There will be traditional Irish music (with flutes, violins, accordions, and more) and Irish rock music along with other performances. Ireland's top Irish dance troupe will perform, as will Korea's most experienced Irish dance troupe, Tap Pung. Authentic Irish culture can't be experienced often in Korea, but St. Patrick's Day festivities are a great chance to experience Irish music, see Irish dance and much more. There will be many events and activities throughout the day; in addition to music and dance, there will be face painting, a costume contest, and a demonstration of Gaelic Football, a traditional Irish sport.
