Kilcormac St Patrick's Day parade to return this year

The Kilcormac St Patrick's Day parade, well known for the unique and varied floats, colourful fancy dress, and excited children parading up the street waving at crowds of onlookers, will take place on Thursday, March 17, at 3.30pm.

A well attended meeting took place last night (Monday)in Kilcormac Community Centre to discuss the future of the local St Patrick's Day Parade.

From the crowd attending it was obvious that there was no discussion needed - the 36th Parade, in the 39th year since the parades began, will go ahead in 2022.

Excited attendees discussed past parades, future plans, insurance and stewarding, changing times, and much more, but the conversation always went back to the strong community spirit and the parades gone by.

The Parade Group, a sub group of Kilcormac Development Association, is encouraging all locals to get involved. Whether you're from a local family, a new family, a club, society or school, get your entry ready for March 17 at 3.30pm and give the young and old of the parish and surrounding areas a day to remember.
