Join The Fun & Go Green for St. Patrick's Day!

Irish pride will be on full display this March as a number of major monuments have joined up for Tourism Ireland’s sixth annual Global Greening Initiative.

The annual Global Greening which sees a host of major landmarks and iconic sites around the world illuminated in green for St Patrick’s Day, has grown from strength to strength, with a number of new landmarks signing up to take part in 2015. Newcomers to the bill include the Colosseum, the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, the Grand Ole Opry, the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville, the National Sanctuary of Cristo Rei (Christ the King statue) in Lisbon, the Fram polar exploration ship in Oslo, the Town Halls of Munich and Bamberg, City Hall in Tbilisi, Georgia, the famous Porte de Bourgogne in Bordeaux as well as the Jumeirah Etihad Towers hotel in Abu Dhabi.

Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland, said: "This is the sixth year of Tourism Ireland’s Global Greening initiative and each year I am delighted to see even more well-known attractions and landmark sites wishing to get involved and join our St Patrick’s celebrations. In particular, the addition of the Colosseum in Rome, one of the most famous monuments in the world, is a major coup for Irish tourism."
