Cork City St. Patrick's Day Parade

The Cork St. Patrick's Day Parade 2024 has chosen Pure Imagination as it's theme.

Delve into the magic and wonder of Cork, and bring to life your mysterious magical world. Hold your breath, make a wish, count to three - and let your imagination soar.

  

 

The Cork City St. Patrick's Day Parade is an annual pageant presented by the wonderful and varied communities who make up our 'beautiful city, so charming and pretty'. A vibrant and colourful display, Cork's parade features members of communities from all walks of life across the city - sporting groups to dance schools, new communities, our long-established brass bands, and special guests from around the world. 

  

  

The Parade takes place on 17th March at 1pm on the route below.
