The 3 July ‘Fáilte’ Garden Party, the 6th in the 2017 series, celebrated Ireland’s new citizens, as well as families with inter-country adopted children.
Each year, President and Sabina Higgins host a series of Garden Parties, to give recognition to, and celebrate the work of, people and organisations who have been active in promoting and building citizenship and community – projects that are central to the Presidency of Michael D. Higgins.
The Garden Parties continue a tradition established by past Presidents, and over the course of the 8 events, the President and Sabina welcomed over 4,000 people from all over the island of Ireland to Áras an Uachtaráin, its house and gardens.
