Parade returns to Nenagh!

Nenagh's St Patrick’s Day Parade will make a welcome return this year with plans in train to hold a parade in conjunction with the annual music and crafts festival on March 17.

The town has not had a national day parade since the plans had to be abandoned in 2020 with the arrival of the covid pandemic. But the St Patrick’s Day Committee has written to local clubs inviting them to take part in a parade this year.

The parade is to start at 1pm and will follow a different route from previous years, setting out from Nenagh Railway Station and proceeding up Kenyon St, Pearse St and Kickham St to finish at Banba Square.

“This fantastic event promises to be a memorable occasion for all ages, celebrating our community spirit, heritage, and creativity,” the committee wrote in its letter to clubs. “Let’s come together to make this St Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival a day to remember!”
