Thousands of spectators line the route of Ireland’s largest regional St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Limerick City each year on 17th March.
This year’s parade includes a themed section and the organisers are encouraging all entries to get involved and celebrate in style.
The theme for this year’s Limerick St. Patrick’s Day Parade is ‘Commemorate’.
Participants taking part will work creatively to come up with inspiring ideas that explore this theme. An application form for the parade can be downloaded at this link.
As we celebrate the Centenary of the 1916 Rising and look forward to another great century, the people of Limerick are invited to look into our rich and diverse cultural heritage for inspiration.
From the Signing of the Treaty to the City of Culture in 2014, within the history of our evolution as a modern multicultural city lays a treasure trove of memories, images and ideas just waiting come alive as a living image of Limerick.
What do you love about Limerick and what is it you would like to commemorate? Is it the history? The people? The culture? Or is it the place itself?
It’s up to you to make, march and dance your inspiration down O’Connell St. on the 17th of March!
