Hundreds turned up to the annual event in Old Market Square to honour the patron saint of Ireland through music, dancing, and some interesting costumes on Sunday, March 17
The day was full of song and dance emanating from the Elaine Marren Memorial Stage, with music from the Louie Walsh Band and Irish dancing entertaining the crowd. For those who had come to Nottingham from Ireland, or have family members from the Emerald Isle, the event was not only an opportunity to have fun but also to recognise Ireland's rich culture.
Liam Connolly, who has lived in Nottingham for more than 25 years, had come to the event with his wife Josie and friend John - who are all in their 60s and Irish compatriots."We were the first generation over here, but now we're an older generation so it's nice to see people you haven't seen in a while, and remember the people we've lost."It's good to see our culture in the music and the dancing, representing our community in the city.
Chris Lynch, 52, from Gotham, whose parents originate from County Kerry, said he had been celebrating St Patrick's Day since he was a child."Ever since I was a kid I have been coming to events and parades, it's a bit quieter this year but I'm sure people will be celebrating all night long in the pubs.
"I always like getting dressed up but it is also about the heritage and the parts of the culture on show." His partner Jacqui Brown, 52, who has relatives from Cork, added:"Everyone's a little bit Irish aren't they.
