"We thoroughly enjoyed our music tour to San Antonio. Our tour manager was very prepared. I appreciated not having to worry about those small details. We plan to travel with Gateway Music Festivals & Tours next year to Hawaii."

St Patrick's Day Parade in Limerick, Ireland

The Event

Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the Limerick International Band Festival kicks off annually on the weekend of St. Patrick's Day. This unforgettable event, filled with color and pageantry, is a truly international event. All categories of Marching/ConcertBands and Drill & Dance Teams from around the world converge on Limerick for spirited competition, lots of fun, and a delightful dose of Irish history. Poised on the River Shannon, Limerick will also give your group opportunities for superb strolls and some terrific shopping.

Historic Limerick City

Established in the 9th century, Limerick City is the third largest city in Ireland and the cultural hub of Ireland's mid-western region. The city offers a wealth of Old World shopping, art, and cultural activities, as well as wonderful fresh air strolls along the magnificent River Shannon, terrific food, and a bustling nightlife. Because the city is perched along Ireland's western coast, it also offers scenic horseback riding, golf, fishing, and sailing opportunities. You'll find it to be an ideal spot from which to launch journeys to the Cliffs of Moher, the Lakes of Killarney, Galway Bay, and other recommended island destinations.
