All systems go for colourful St Patrick's Day parade in Offaly town

KILCORMAC

The Kilcormac St Patrick's Day parade is renowned for the quality of its floats

Kilcormac St Patrick's Day parade, well known for the unique and varied floats, the colour of fancy dress and the excited children parading up the street waving at crowds of onlookers will take place on Thursday, March 17 at 3.30pm.   

A well attended meeting took place on Monday last, February 7 in Kilcormac Community Centre to discuss the future of the renowned local St. Patrick's Day Parade. 

From the crowd attending it was obvious that there was no discussion needed - the 36th Parade, in the 39th year since the parades began will go ahead.

Excited attendees discussed past parades, future plans, insurance and stewarding,  changing times and much more but the conversation  always went back to the strong community spirit and the parades gone by. 

The Parade Group, a sub group of Kilcormac Development Association are encouraging all locals to get involved whether from a local family, a new family,  a club/society or school -  get your entry ready for March 17 at 3.30pm and give young and old of the parish and surrounding areas a day to remember.
