There are few celebrations as lively and universally enjoyed as St Patrick’s Day. A little green, a good drink in hand, and a crowd ready to celebrate are usually all it takes.
This year, The President Hotel is turning the occasion into a full afternoon festival.
On Saturday, 14 March 2026 from 2pm, guests are invited to join the St Patrick’s Festival Celebration, an event that blends Irish spirit, great food, live entertainment and a dose of international rugby excitement.
A Celebration with Irish Spirit
The festival promises all the elements that make St Patrick’s Day memorable.
Guests can expect live music, whiskey tastings and delicious food, all set against the relaxed atmosphere that The President Hotel is known for. With the iconic Irish stout flowing and plenty of festive spirit in the air, the event offers the perfect excuse to gather friends, dress in a touch of green, and settle in for an afternoon of good company.
It’s lively without being overwhelming and social without feeling crowded. Think laughter, music, and the occasional cheer rising from a nearby table.
Rugby Fans, This One’s for You
Adding to the excitement is a Six Nations rugby double-header that will have sports fans paying close attention.
The afternoon will feature Ireland vs Scotland, followed by England vs France, bringing two thrilling international clashes to the celebration. With big screens and an enthusiastic crowd, the atmosphere is expected to be electric as fans rally behind their teams.
For many guests, the mix of rugby, Irish drinks and live music creates the perfect St Patrick’s Day formula.
A Festival Made for Relaxing
Guests arrive from 2pm, find a comfortable spot, grab a drink and let the afternoon unfold. Some will be there for the rugby, others for the whiskey tastings or the music, but most will quickly discover that the real highlight is simply enjoying the festive energy around them.
At R495 per person, the St Patrick’s Festival promises an afternoon packed with entertainment, flavour and plenty of Irish cheer.
