St. Patrick's Day was first organised in Munich in 1996 by some Irish men and women and friends of the Irish community. Instead of the planned 200, 3000 guests attended the parade. Since then, the Irish day of remembrance has been celebrated in Munich every year: Especially around Odeonsplatz, revellers dressed in green gather for parades and concerts. This year, the parade will take place for the 27th time in Munich on 15 and 16 March 2025!
On Saturday, you can toast to the Irish-Bavarian friendship at the pre-party: Numerous street food stalls and a stage will be set up in front of the Feldherrnhalle on Odeonsplatz. There will be music and dancing from a lot of bands.
Some of them will perform again on Sunday, when the party reaches its climax. On this day, over 1000 participants dance, sing and make music along Ludwigstraße, starting at Münchner Freiheit. The parade ends at Odeonsplatz, where it continues with an open-air festival on two stages.
In addition to the parade, there will also be a suitable supporting programme for St. Patrick's Day in the city centre this weekend: On Saturday evening, the Munich Irish Night 2025 invites you to the Wirtshaus im Schlachthof from 8 pm. At the same time, the traditional church service with Irish music will take place in the Ludwigskirche (Ludwigstr. 22) from 6 pm. In the wine tavern in the Ratskeller on Marienplatz, there will be a pop-up pub together with Killian's for three days.
