The Enniscorthy St Patrick’s Day Parade is going ahead this year on Friday, 17th March 2023, at 3pm.

The parade route will be the same as last year with the marchers going up Hospital Lane which means that Rafter Street and Wafer Street will be bypassed.

Led by the Army Reserve Colour Party, the marching groups will set off from St. Senan’s Parish Church at 3.00pm.

The floats and vehicles taking part in the parade will assemble on The Promenade.

The St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee, in association with the Cottage Autism Network, is looking at including a Sensory Inclusion Street for the 2023 Parade. The Sensory Street would be on Templeshannon Quay between William Barker Bridge and Séamus Rafter Bridge. The area would be for people with different needs to access the parade in an environment which is safe and sensitive to their needs.

Due to health and safety regulations, insurance implications and advice from An Garda Siochána, horses/animals will NOT be allowed to take part in the parade this year.

Over one hundred clubs, organisations and cultural groups have been circulated with relevant forms for the parade and if any organisation/club hasn’t received one please contact Seán Doyle, 2 Esmonde Road, Enniscorthy. Tel: 053 92 35119. Email: seanogodubhghaill@gmail.com n
