John C. Reilly announced as International Guest of Honour

St. Patrick’s Festival is delighted to announce American Irish actor, musician and producer John C. Reilly as International Guest of Honour at the national St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Thursday March 17th. John’s visit to Ireland is made possible by St. Patrick’s Festival, in partnership with Tourism Ireland, Fáilte Ireland and the Guinness Storehouse. John embodies the spirit of Ireland’s tribe of 80 million diaspora across the world – a genuine sense of connection-to-place that generations with Irish heritage experience, a love of the country and the people, and a desire to better understand the stories of those who left and those who were left behind.
