St Patrick's Day festivities sure to turn this Tipperary town green
Tipperary Town's St Patrick's Day parade festivities will kick off from 12.30pm on March 17
As St Patrick's Day fast approaches, Tipperary Town is getting ready for its annual St Patrick's Day Parade.
This year's parade will take place on March 17, with festivities kicking off from 12.30pm, in association with Tipperary Tidy Towns.
This year's parade theme is Bee the Change, aiming to highlight biodiversity and what we can do to minimise the effects of climate change.
The traditional parade will start at 2.30pm, but there will be music on the reviewing stand between the two banks on the Main Street from 12.30pm, with parade MC Dee Morrissey and special guests Stephen Stokes, Ellie Peters, Shauna Frewen, Lorcan Kennedy and Aaron O'Donoghue.
The parade will return to the traditional route this year following a slight change last year to facilitate the Marching Mizzou college band from Missouri.
Starting at The Plan, the parade will head down O'Brien Street, and then up the Main Street of the town, before finishing at Bank Place.
There will be prizes on the day for best float, greenest person, as well as best window display.
