St Patrick’s Day parade will be ‘The Greatest Show’ ever
T
The committee behind St Patrick’s Festival Cill Airne have been hard at work over the winter months preparing for this year’s festival.
And Chairperson Paul Sherry has just announced this year’s theme for the parade.
“This year we are celebrating ‘The Circus’ and all that it entails as the theme for our St Patrick’s Day Parade,” he said.
“Killarney and Kerry have a long association with the circus and has welcomed many different circuses to the town over the years.
“Our plans are to make this year’s parade ‘The Greatest Show’, we invite you to use your creative skills and imagination to interpret the theme with lots of colour, fun, and noise. This is a call to action for all participants, we want energy, creativity, imagination, humour, music and dance. Preparations are well underway so feel free to contact us if you would like to get involved in the parade or the festival.”
Paul put particular emphasis on the support received from local businesses and Kerry County Council.
“We would like to thank all our sponsors for last year, their support is critical, especially Kerry County Council, without their co-operation and financial support the festival and parade could not happen. New sponsorship opportunities are evolving and we are happy to meet with any sponsors to discuss.”
The festival is organised by a subcommittee of Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce, and together with the support of Kerry County Council and local volunteers, organises a full weekend of family friendly activities.
Further details are to follow in the coming weeks.
The festival can be contacted at stpatricksfestivalkillarney@gmail.com.
