All the 2018 St Patrick's Day Parades
No matter where in the country you are you won’t be far from a parade or celebration. We have over 180 St Patrick’s Day parades from Ardara in Donegal, to Youghal in Cork listed on InspireMe.ie. They will vary in scale and substance, but one thing they will all have in common is a wonderful community behind them. Is there anything more Irish, on our national holiday, than wearing the shamrock while cheering as the freezing under-12 camogie team parade past, followed by a procession of old tractors decorated with balloons?
Please note: All these events are correct at time of publishing, We will edit this page throughout the week and if you’re like us to list your parade or alter a listing email admin@inspireme.ie. Between the rugby and the weather there may be some changes as the week progresses.
