Saint Patrick’s Day in Krakow
What do the TAURON Arena Kraków, the Father Bernatek Bridge and the Flyover linking Lipska and Wielicka streets in our City have in common with the Colosseum in Rome, the Sacré-Coeur Basilica in Paris or the Statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro?
The key word is “green”. Krakow joined numerous cities around the globe that took part in the Global Greening project organised to mark St. Patrick’s Day and illuminated in green a few of its landmarks on 17th March 2016.
Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated all over the world, from Sydney, through Tokyo to New York, various events are taking place and iconic landmarks are turned green, including the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids, the Sydney Opera House and the Empire State Building. In Krakow, a highly popular cycling-pedestrian crossing, the Father Bernatek bridge, the flyover linking Lipska and Wielicka streets (one of the longest in Poland) and the TAURON Arena Kraków were illuminated in green on 17th March 2016 as symbols of intercultural but also interpersonal Krakow-Ireland communication and relationship.
