St. Patrick’s Day In Ireland – Get your Passport Renewal Now! - Expedited Passports

If you’ve always wanted to visit Ireland for St. Patrick’s Day, Irish eyes are smiling on you this year. Jaunted dug up a package from TravelZoo that gets you a 6-night stay in Dublin for $599 per person. Airfare to Ireland and a rental car are included.

The only catch? The deal starts on March 19th, a couple of days after St. Patrick’s Day itself. No worries, though – the Irish treat St. Paddy’s Day kind of like New Orleans treats Mardi Gras. It’s not just a day of merriment, it’s a 6-day-long festival that runs from the 16th to the 20th. So, you’ll still be able to catch the tail end of the celebrations.

In fact, if you manage to get into town early enough and you aren’t too tired from the flight, you ought to be able to catch the fireworks in the nearby Viking town of Wexford.

According to the official St. Patrick’s Day website, “The Wexford Quays provide a stunning setting for the formidable fireworks display where bright colours and amazing effects will light up the skies over the river Slaney. A breathtaking pyrotechnic waterfall will create a 300m wide curtain of cascading silver fire.”

Nice! And it’s hard to complain at that price.

To fly to Ireland, of course you need a passport. Even if you already have one, go dig it out and check the expiration date. If it’s expired, you’ll need to apply for a passport renewal ASAP. It’s already too late to send your passport renewal application in with normal processing, as it takes about 6 weeks for the Department of State to send your passport back unless you expedite it. Expediting your passport with the State Department costs an additional $60 and will get your passport to you in 3 weeks.

For faster service, you have two options: make an appointment at one of 21 regional agency offices or use a private passport expediting company like RushMyPassport. We help you with the application and then personally deliver it to the Department of State for processing in as little as 24 hours, with no need to make an appointment or wait in line at a passport agency.

St Patrick’s Day is less than a month away.  In America, that means several things:

• If you don’t wear green, your friends will revel in tormenting you with “good-natured” pinches
• There will be an abundance of cheap green beer.
• After drinking much cheap green beer, perfectly reasonable adults will put on cheap green leprechaun hats and walk around shouting “Kiss me, I’m Irish!”

Not that all of that isn’t fun, of course, but this year, why not do something different? Trade your green beer for a pint of Guinness and witness the mother of all St. Patrick’s day celebrations in Ireland! In Dublin, it’s more like St. Patrick’s Day week, with a full 6 days of events planned. And yes, there will be beer, but there will also be music, plays and other celebrations of Irish culture. Better yet, most of the events are free!

To help you plan your trip, DoChara has an excellent list of things to do in Ireland, including eating black pudding, visiting a bog and more!

Of course, if you want to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the Irish, you need to apply for passport services now. Currently, it’s taking about 3 weeks to get your passport if you apply directly with the US Passport Agency. Since St. Patrick’s Day is almost here, a better option would be to use a private passport expediting service to submit your application.

With expedited passport services, you can get your passport fast-in some cases, in as little as 24 hours! So, what are you waiting for? Order rush passport service now and book your St. Patrick’s Day adventure with confidence!
