Saint Brigid's day is celebrated at the start of February in Ireland, and the first Monday of the month has been a bank holiday since 2023. The 1st of February is also the date of Imbolc, a pre-Christian seasonal festival celebrating the start of spring, and in Kildare, where Brigid called home, there's a 5 day festival filled with music, art and culture which is worth checking out.
