Thank you for 2017!
We're catching our breaths after a fantastic few days at St. Patrick's Festival Amsterdam 2017. With a full house, from start to finish and sold out concerts and workshops, we look back with big smiles and gratitude on the 2017 edition of the Festival. A huge thank you to all the fantastic musicians, performers and workshop leaders, all our sponsors and supporters, our fabulous team and wonderful audiences of all ages who made the 2017 a fantastic and memorable experience. Take a look back at our gallery of pictures from the 2 days of the Festival. If you were at the Festival, we'd love to hear how you got on. And thanks to the Irish Rugby Team for adding to the joy on Saturday too!
