Irish people celebrate St Patrick’s Day everywhere in the world in a very spectacular way. Everybody is dressed in green or wears shamrocks, listens to Irish traditional music (céilithe), and takes part in processions, parades and festivals.
Budapest hosted St Patrick’s Day today in the afternoon, between 1 PM and 5 PM. The gathering was at Szabadság Square, where kids could play games and grown-ups were able to mingle with the Irish in Hungary or even drink a Guinness. The parade started at 3 PM from Szabadság Square towards the Hungarian Parliament. Partakers then returned to Szabadság Square via Széchenyi rakpart- Széchenyi Square -Szent István Bazilika.
