St. Patrick’s Day celebrations returned to its celestial home, as Birmingham’s Irish Quarter saw the return of pubs, bars, clubs, and other centres festooned in green, gold and white.

As local venues got together to ensure the festivities continued, all this was enjoyed despite the absence of the colourful array of marching bands, troops and, of course, leprechauns. But, despite that, the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day was alive and kicking, as the chance to celebrate heritage, traditions, and Irish culture remain strong in the city.

So, with live entertainment very much at the heart of the celebrations, traditional music, Irish dancing, and performances was still at the centre, as venues throughout Digbeth was filled with men, women and children, who remained fully entertained – no matter what! By honouring cultural roots and pass down traditions, Birmingham's Irish Quarter proved, yet again, that Birmingham’s St Patrick's Day remain to be about more than just a parade — it was a celebration of community and tradition.

highlighting Irish identity, fuelled by music, camaraderie, and a shared history, whatever is put in the way, whenever the Irish tricolour takes over Digbeth, there’s just almost nowhere else to compare.

No Parade… No Problem!
