Killarney

Killarney will give you all the Irish spirit you want, but with significantly less crowds. Get ready for street dancing, themed lake cruises, treasure hunts, and castles that turn bright green. Highlights: Scoring tickets to Celtic Steps: a traditional Irish music, song and dance show and hiking in the Killarney National Park. Pro tip: Have some extra time and want to explore?

How to celebrate in 2021: Just like most other cities on this list, celebrations in Killarney look a little bit different this year. To keep spirits high, local buildings will be illuminated in green from March 5th to March 28th.
