The Gathering 2013 is a year long effort to bring more tourism and business to Ireland through celebrating and promoting cultural festivals and events.

It provides an opportunity to join a countrywide, citizen-led initiative to invite our Diaspora from around the world to come together and support Ireland in 2013.

The Diaspora includes all those who have an affinity with Ireland – either through music, sport, tourism, media, business connections, and other interests, or have lived, studied or visited there in the past.

The Gathering will be a unique one year ‘festival of festivals’ designed around a programme of events which will showcase Ireland in areas such as arts, sports, food, learning, genealogy, science and technology and hospitality as well as the Irish people through their desire to welcome friends, family and associates for a visit to enjoy all that Ireland has to offer.
