The St. Patrick’s Day Parade will begin at 12.45pm, led by the Mini Tractor Run and this year’s Grand Marshals, the Headford Yarnbombers. After the parade, everyone is invited to a family-friendly afterparty in Moyne Villa, where there will be music, the Scouts’ bake sale and The Dugout will be open.
Everyone is welcome to take part in the parade. The assembly point for walking groups has moved this year to the Old Forge, and participants are asked to assemble by 12.15pm.
