The 8th St. Patrick's Day Festival will take place along the Cheonggyecheon on Saturday 15th March.
Last year was a huge success: 6,000 expats and Koreans (audited by Diageo) took part - look at the LINKS posted on this page. City Hall has granted use of this central location as a result and with your help we hope we can make this the biggest expat community driven event in Korea.
Let your friends in Korea know!

I've been here over six years, and I have no idea where that location is either.

I also think the St Patrick's Day Parade should go back to Itaewon if possible.

Btw, this really should be posted in the "General" forum ...

Er, there's a river flowing through downtown. Find it, look for drunk white people.

Buck Mulligan's is in the Seoul Financial Centre/Koreana Hotel behind City Hall. Opposite the UK Embassy and Doksugung. Downstairs. It was the hooley venue in 2002.

Just exit at Gwanghwamun (line 5) and walk toward City Hall. You'll see a large red and blud spiral cone piece of art.
