“Limerick: A Different Kind of Energy" is the captivating theme for this year's Limerick St. Patrick’s Festival, and there is certainly plenty to super charge your St. Patrick’s weekend across our city and county.
The theme encapsulates the city and county’s constant evolution, where past and present combine to generate Limerick’s unique energy.
In Limerick you can discover the echoes of the 13th Century at King John’s Castle, the majesty of St. Mary’s Cathedral, the elegant Georgian architecture and the artistic treasures housed in Limerick’s museums and galleries. Explore megalithic wonders at Lough Gur, medieval charm in Kilmallock, the heritage of Adare, bustling Newcastle West and the birthplace of Irish coffee in Foynes.
Limerick’s cultural heartbeat, evident in edgy street art and a thriving music scene, boasts a calendar brimming with theatre, film, festivals, and events. Limerick was the first National City of Culture and proudly hosts EVA International, showcasing contemporary art biennially, contributing to an energy found nowhere else on the Emerald Isle.
County Limerick is an adventure playground, inviting exploration with Ballyhoura Mountain Bike Trails, Curraghchase Forest Park, and the scenic Limerick Greenway offering a 40km path through lush countryside, along with so many other trails, loops, walks and hikes just waiting to be embraced.
As well as celebrating history, Limerick is looking to the future with groundbreaking green initiatives. The potential for offshore wind energy generation on the Shannon Estuary represents a monumental step towards sustainable energy for the region. Under the +CityxChange programme, Limerick is leading the charge as one of just two European cities pioneering innovative energy solutions.
