The parade sets off at 4.30pm, winding through Cashel via Boherclough and up Main Street to Friar Street. By choosing this date and route, the committee hopes to welcome even more visitors to Cashel’s St Patrick’s Day celebrations, despite requests to return to the traditional March 17th parade from the Rock of Cashel.
