Following two years of virtual celebrations, RT will mark the return of St. Patrick's Festival with a variety of special programmes and themed content across television, radio and online, including extensive coverage of the first St. Patrick's Day parades since 2019.
>>>ST. PATRICK'S DAY HIGHLIGHTS
Join The National Parade
This year's national St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin will be broadcast live on RT One and RT Player and streamed on RTE.ie, as millions of viewers in Ireland and across the world join Bl thnaid N Chofaigh, Des Cahill, Emer O'Neill and M che l Scann il for an exciting spectacle live from the streets of Dublin from 12:15pm.
In addition to the extended parade programme on RT One and RT Player, the national St. Patrick's Day parade will be streamed on RT .ie and will also be available on the RT News Channel and RT News App. A special St. Patrick's Day tracker will also feature on the rte.ie homepage.

Late Late Show Special
The Late Late Show will be at the heart of festivities for its live broadcast this St Patrick's Day.

From 2.00-3.00pm, Fiachna 'Braon in will bring you The RT Concert Orchestra Presents: New Irish Recordings, which will showcase both new writing and new orchestral arrangements from three artists making music today that uniquely explores the Irishness of each. The RT Concert Orchestra brings us new recordings of music from The Lost Brothers' acclaimed 2020 album After the Fire, After the Rain; brand new music inspired by the women of revolution of 100 years ago by songwriter Karan Casey; and a new interpretation of traditional pieces by musician and composer Saileog N Cheannabh in, with Ailbhe Nic Dhonncha and P draic Keane. Fiachna will be joined on air by the artists for some background and context to the music chosen for interpretation by the Concert Orchestra. Ray Cuddihy is back from 3.00-4.00pm with another edition of Mise Freshin, his genre-busting programme exploring contemporary and traditional music, recorded during a live gig in Dublin's Pepper Cannister Church.

After midday, An Saol Dheas will be broadcasting live from the parade in B al tha an Ghaorthaidh in the Cork Gaeltacht. The area is well-known for its great community spirit and its St Patrick's Day celebrations always reflect that enthusiasm. They're back now after two years and excitement levels will be high. That evening, Liam Maonla will be joined in studio by R n n Snodaigh and Myles O'Reilly for some not quite traditional music, and some interesting conversations about the power of music, in the Cuan an Cheoil series.
