St Patrick’s Day parade is back
By Sean Moriarty
Organisers of the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Killarney say they are confident that this year’s event will go ahead.
It is three years since Killarney hosted a St Patrick’s Day Parade.
The first COVID-19 lockdown was announced on Thursday March 12, 2020 just five days before the planned parade and the event became one of the first victims of crowd gathering rules.
Killarney’s St Patrick’s Day parade is organised by a sub-committee within the Chamber of Tourism and Commerce, the same people that organise the Christmas in Killarney parades.
The success of the festive events have given them the courage to press on with a parade on the national holiday which falls on a Thursday this year.
“We are quietly working behind the scenes and plans are at an advanced stage. We are hoping to pick up where we left off back in March 2020 so we are staying with the pre-pandemic theme of Earth/An Chré as so many people had already put a lot of work and effort into preparing for that theme two years ago, said. said festival committee voluntary chairperson Paul Sherry.
“Following on from the extremely successful and safe Christmas In Killarney parades last December we are super confident that come March 17 we will be in a position to present a safe and spectacular event for everyone to enjoy.”
Organisers are hoping to pick up where they left off in 2020.
“We are staying with the pre-pandemic theme of ‘Earth' (An Chré)’ as so many had already put a lot of work and effort into preparing for that theme back in 2020,” added the release.
“We are quietly working behind the scenes and plans are at an advanced stage.”
