Hundreds of thousands of people have packed the streets of Dublin to watch Ireland’s national St. Patrick’s Day parade

The theme was Eachtrai – the Irish word for adventures – which organisers say represents the “unique essence of Ireland and her people”. The parade was truly one for the history books, making St Patrick's Day 2025 one to remember. Enjoy some iconic photos from the 2025 Dublin parade below.

Children waved the Irish tricolour while visitors watched the long and energetic parade make its way through the streets of Dublin as Ireland celebrated its patron saint on Monday. Children, adults and visitors from across the world packed the city centre to see the headline parade and to celebrate the festivities of St Patrick’s Day.
