If you want to find out the inspiration behind U2, James Joyce and Riverdance, and connect with the Land of Saints and Scholars, you are invited to join The Gathering. An unprecedented event for the Irish and the Irish at heart, The Gathering 2013 is a yearlong celebration of the wonders of Ireland in a long lineup of festivities, bringing Ireland's culture, music, arts, sports, and heritage fully to life. Whether you are Irish in ancestry or in spirit or have a curiosity about Ireland's history and people, 2103 is a great time to be visiting the Emerald Isle. Everyone is invited to experience the home of so many stories and songs as the people of Ireland will be the focus of the events in their communities, towns, and villages. Enjoy traditional Irish food, kiss the the Blarney stone, have a go at hurling, sample Atlantic seafood in Galway, or feel the wind ruffle your hair on the Cliffs of Moher. With over 70 million people worldwide claiming Irish ancestry, The Gathering provides an opportunity to visit Ireland and reconnect as communities throughout the country showcase and share their Irish culture and traditions. The event begins on New Year's Eve in Dublin. Afterward, The Gathering is meant to be a people-led project as everyone is encouraged to create local gatherings of their own, inviting friends from around the world to come and see what The Gathering is all about.
