The theme of this year’s parade is “All Aboard” and, very fittingly, the Grand Marshal will be a representative of the New Ross Boat Club which celebrates its 150th year this year.

Local businesses are being encouraged to take part in the Shop Window Competition which has seen the prize numbers increase this year. Well done to the New Ross St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee and all volunteers involved.

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day Stateside? We’ve Got a Recommendation!

If you can’t make it home to Wexford for the festivities this year, why not celebrate with our friends in Savannah, Georgia – The Hostess City of the South!

Savannah has been proudly hosting its St. Patrick’s Day Parade since 1824, making it one of the oldest and largest celebrations in the U.S. For over 200 years, this incredible event has brought Irish pride, tradition, and community spirit to life. It’s the biggest celebration of its kind in the South and a true source of local pride!

No matter where you celebrate, be sure to raise a glass to Ireland and to Wexford this St. Patrick’s Day! Sláinte!
