DUBLIN<\/span>, March 18, 2022<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Today marks the first live St Patrick’s Day events on the island of Ireland<\/span> for two years. In Dublin<\/span>, thousands witnessed the joyful return of the much-loved St Patrick’s Festival as a colourful parade animated the city streets to celebrate Ireland’s<\/span> national day.<\/p>\n

Joining as the St Patrick’s Festival International Guest of Honour was American actor, John C. Reilly<\/span>. The Step Brothers<\/i> star was in Dublin<\/span> taking in the sights, including a special visit to the Home of Guinness, the Guinness Storehouse, before attending the first St Patrick’s Day parade since 2019.<\/p>\n

St Patrick’s Day is celebrated all over the world by the 80 million who claim links to Ireland<\/span>. Irish music and dance have become synonymous with celebrations to mark the day. This year, Tourism Ireland is extending an invitation to celebrate Irish heritage in Milan<\/span>, London<\/span>, New York<\/span> and Sydney<\/span> on St Patrick’s Day with the Green Button Festival.<\/p>\n

The Green Button Festival<\/a> is lighting up digital billboards today in these four cities, connecting passers-by with some of Ireland’s<\/span> best-loved and up-and-coming musicians. City-dwellers can interact with the billboards to trigger sound and vision recordings of some of Ireland’s<\/span> top talent performing at various locations around the island.<\/p>\n

The festival is brought to life when passers-by use their smartphone to scan giant QR codes and press the green button to activate a performance. <\/p>\n

In addition to the big city billboards, the performances can be viewed by anyone anywhere via Ireland.com<\/a>, so wherever you are around the globe today, an Irish music festival can be on hand.<\/p>\n

The event and the technology behind it is the first music billboard festival to happen across cities and time zones controlled by individuals’ mobile phones.<\/p>\n

Festival acts include Clannad and Denise Chaila in County Donegal<\/span>, Ryan McMullan<\/span> from the Oh Yeah Music Centre in Belfast<\/span>, which was named a UNESCO City of Music late last year. And also available on screen are acts such as contemporary folk band K\u00edla, DJ and vocalist Gemma Bradley<\/span>, and Riverdance, performing at the Giant’s Causeway and Cliffs of Moher.<\/p>\n

The Green Button Festival is shining a light on the Irish music scene’s established names and rising stars, revealing a whole new side to Ireland<\/span> on St Patrick’s Day.<\/p>\n
