Sligo St Patrick's Day Parade
|
In 2022, the 50th Sligo St Patrick's parade makes a welcome return after a 2 year absence due to Covid.
the theme of this years St Patrick's day parade is one simple word: Together . This year will see the introduction of a new route. The main change will see the parade return to going up O’Connell Street and across Grattan Street and Castle Street.The viewing stand will now be based at the Courthouse in an effort to reduce gaps and delays in the parade. It is hoped the shorter route will make the parade more enjoyable for spectators and there are a number of quiet zones and designated disabled spaces as seen on the map below. As the parade makes its way through the centre of town, there will be a new parade prize winning category for "best village entry" plus a newly developed music trail that includes a visit across the venues in Sligo town on the nights of the 17th and 18th More info: Home - Sligo St Patricks Day Festival |
