VALENTINE'S DAY may still be on everybody's mind but that's not the case amongst the hardworking committee of the St Patrick's Day committee, who have been hard at work since last September to ensure that this year's parade and festival is bigger and better in every way.

The committee comprises of hardworking individuals/volunteers who are all giving up their free time to help make the festival a truly unique and enjoyable experience for you!

As the newly appointed creative director of the St Patrick’s Day parade in Killarney, I see all sorts of clubs, organisations and societies getting ready to display their wonderful talents. The Fiona Crowley Stage School members have changed from elves at Christmas to leprechauns for St Patrick’s Day in one fell swoop!

Our students just love getting out there for any event! There is a wonderful sense of camaraderie and pride in our stage school to walk as a team, as all ages from 5-18 years old join forces to make this year’s parade bigger and better!

The students simply love dressing up and just being a part of the wonderful occasion that is St Patrick's Day in Killarney, with local people, local clubs and organisations getting a chance to show pride in their community. We love it in the Fiona Crowley Stage School.

As the theme this year is diversity, the committee are looking forward to seeing the creativity again that was so evident last year.

Whatever effort is made by any club or society will be greatly appreciated. Once every participant enjoys the experience in every way that will be a success for all of us on the committee! We can't wait.

The annual Killarney Regatta Dance took place on September 25 as rowers, families and supporters came together to celebrate their successful year.

The racing was cancelled in September due to bad weather.

The Killarney Regatta is one of Ireland’s oldest rowing events, having first begun in 1788.

The dance took place at the Killarney Oaks Hotel where there was a lot of excitement and fun. Six rowing clubs, Fossa, Workman’s, St Brendan’s, Commercials, Flesk Valley, and Muckross, came together to celebrate the community and its shared history.

Amelia Counihan was crowned as the Regatta Queen.

The Queen represents the spirit pride and grace of the rowing community and has been a tradition in the club for generations.

Workman’s Rowing Club congratulated Amelia and described her as a woman who embodies everything that their tradition stands for.

The club said: “Queen is more than a title — it is a celebration of history, community, and the spirit of Killarney rowing.”
