St Patrick's Day at the National Leprechaun Museum
Wandering around the city centre on St Patrick’s day, you’ll meet many
diverse fun fashion statements to say the least… classy greens, sassy
golds and demure nods to patriotism as people roll out in their Sunday
best, while others parade full-on costumes ranging from the
adventurous to the really out there ! (And that’s not including the
official parade!)
This Paddy’s Day, we’re celebrating street fashion on a day of
eclectic Irish fashion!
The National Leprechaun Museum and the SCOOP foundation joined up to
give everyone (Dubliners and visitors) the chance to show off their
Paddy’s Day Finery to the whole world, and set up a
picture-book-photo-booth for them to get snapped in!
Entrants got snapped by our photographers on our set and then posted
online… winners will be voted on by a worldwide audience! (There’s a
range of categories and spot prizes to be won!)
