Going out to Ireland for the St. Patrick's Day Festival in 2018. Tickets are already booked for the plane flight. Trying to get rolling on the hotel accomodations, etc.

Just wanted to see if any of this group had prior experience with planning a trip to Ireland and in particular how to navigate the St. Patrick's Day crowds. Any recommendations and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I guess my question to help you, is do you plan to be in Dublin or somewhere else (Galway) for St. Pats?

Went back in 2012 or 13 (whenever tiger band was in the parade)

Stayed at the hilton just south of st Stephen’s green and it was a very easy walk into the heart of the city. St Patrick’s day was actually underwhelming imo. None of the bars were open before the parade and they didn’t allow alcohol in the streets. Ireland was in the rugby finals against France a few days prior and the bars were nuts for that though.

Generally, the Irish don't celebrate St Pats. That's reserved for Irish-Americans
