"Over half a million people are expected to get in on all the action in Dublin for the national St. Patrick's Day Parade which will feature 12 large-scale floats from independent parade companies, with over 3,000 participants involved. The parade route runs from Parnell Square starting at 12pm, through the city centre to the finishing point at the junction of Kevin Street and Cuffe Street."
"Returning to the streets of Dublin are beloved pageant makers including Macnas, Bui Bolg, Spraoi, Inishowen Carnival Group, Curious State, Volkidana, The Outing Queer Arts Collective, Artastic and ArtFX, alongside exciting new entries from Lumen Street Theatre and Show CoMotion, a new Dublin-based parade company making its Festival debut."
"Across the country, local festivities are proudly showcasing their homegrown talents and with 'Legends of Limerick' as the theme for Limerick City's St Patrick's festival, it's only fitting that athletics ace Ava Crean leads this year's parade as grand marshal."
