Thurles St Patrick's Day parade is shaping up to be a good one

Following many months of preparation The Thurles St Patrick's Day Committee have said the parade is shaping up to be a good one.

We pray for good weather on the day for the viewing public and the participants The Thurles St Patrick’s Day Parade 2024 will take place on Sunday, March 17, 2024 at 2.30pm in Liberty Square.

This year’s theme is Youth: Our hopes for the Future. Our special guest of honour will reflect this theme, young Luke Blackwell CBS Thurles Secondary School student Young Scientist Award winner 2024 in two categories.

The continued success of the parade over the years is based largely on the generous sponsorship of local businesses, groups and Tipperary County Council.

The quality of entries and effort by clubs and organisations also ensure this level of success, and we look forward to viewing their presentations this year.

Entry forms are available from hello@thurlestouristoffice.ie or the Tourist Office Slievenamon Road, Thurles.
Live Music in Liberty Square from 1pm - 2pm, face painting and side attractions.

In keeping with the national day of celebration the Parade Committee are asking that all shops and businesses to dress up their display windows and business fronts in green and national colours to signify our special day of celebration.

There will be awards for the Best dressed Window and runner-up and best Traditional Window and runner-up.

We look forward to a good day for St Patrick’s Day Parade Sunday, March 17 at 2.30pm.
