Saint Patrick’s Day in Benidorm

The Mediterranean’s most vibrant green celebration.

Every 17 March, Benidorm is transformed.

The streets turn green, music blends with laughter, and the Irish spirit fills the air with an energy that surprises even those who have experienced Dublin at this time of year.

Here, by the Mediterranean, Saint Patrick’s Day stops being just a celebration… and becomes a shared experience that takes over the entire city.

For nearly 30 years, Benidorm has celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day with the same passion as Ireland itself — and you can feel it everywhere: in every decorated pub, every mass toast, every Celtic song that makes the streets pulse from morning until late into the night.

A celebration that spreads joy from the very first moment

Saint Patrick’s Day in Benidorm isn’t something you watch — it’s something you live.

From early on, the Irish pub area — especially around Rincón de Loix — fills with people dressed in green, wearing oversized hats, shamrocks everywhere, pints in hand and one shared aim: to enjoy every second.

What you can expect:

🍀 Themed streets full of colour and atmosphere
Irish flags, green lights and festive décor set the scene from the very start.

🎶 Live music throughout the day
Celtic sounds, rock, covers, local bands and international acts — pubs turn into lively mini-venues.

🍺 Endless toasts and great company
Benidorm’s Irish pubs serve classic beers, themed cocktails and an atmosphere that’s hard to beat.

💃 Dancing, spontaneous parades and plenty of humour
Leprechauns roaming the streets, friends breaking into choreographed moves, groups celebrating together — spontaneous and unforgettable.
