Carrick-on-Suir’s St Patrick’s Day Parade is to take place a day earlier this year on Sunday, March 16 and one of its organisers has invited entries from other communities in the district as well as the town.
Cllr David Dunne announced the new date for the parade and issued the appeal for wider participation from groups across the Municipal District at the January meeting of the District’s councillors in Carrick Town Hall.
The Sinn Féin councillor said Carrick’s St Patrick’s Day Parade Committee is working closely with Explore Carrick-on-Suir tourism initiative to make the town’s parade as big a success as the recent Tractors & Tudors Christmas Festival.
He said the Carrick parade will take place at 1pm on Sunday, March 16 and it was hoped to have some events in the town afterwards.
Cllr Dunne acknowledged that changing the date of the parade may be “controversial” but it meant a number of bands booked to take part in other St Patrick’s Day parades were now available to perform in the Carrick event.
