Edinburgh St Patrick's Day festival returns with drag queens and tribute acts

One of Edinburgh's most well known St Patrick's Day bashes at the Three Sisters in Cowgate will return this year.

The pub is famous for the annual festivity but in the past two years lockdown and Covid-19 put a stop to the party.

Now, with restrictions ending anyone up for a day of ' craic'oke ' can come along and on the day, or the day before, or the day after!

The Three Sisters will be celebrating the big day all week and have a number of events organised from 8am until well into the wee small hours.

Customers are advised that entry will be controlled by wrist bands, which are available to buy from the pub.

Announcing the news online they even promised that there will be special celebrity guests turning up throughout the day.

They said: "Back after a two year hiatus, The Three Sisters brings you Edinburgh's biggest St Patrick's Day festival.

"Opening from 8am until 3am.

"Expect live bands all day, Irelands top tribute acts, drag queens, craic'aoke, free breakfasts, chances to win an all expenses paid trip to Dublin and the Guinness Storehouse and tickets to see Westlife live in concert, as well as some special celebrity guests throughout the day."

The Three Sister says that celebrations will kick off Wednesday 16th, on St Paddy's Eve before moving onto the big day itself.

The pub will open on the 18th for a Paddy's Hangover event, and then on Saturday they will be running a Super Saturday on the Saturday, March 19.

Wristbands must be collected from The Three Sisters prior to the event. Collections dates are 07/03/22, 09/03/22 & 14/03/22 between 14:00 & 20:00. Contact the pub for more details.
