The countdown has begun for this year’s St. Patrick’s Festival in Carrick-on-Suir, an event that promises to bring people together in a spectacular celebration of heritage, inclusivity, and community spirit. Under the theme “Unity, Community, and Collaboration,” this year’s festival will showcase the heart and soul of Carrick-on-Suir and its 3 county Hinterland, ensuring a St. Patrick’s celebration like no other.
The festival, organised by Entdecken Sie Carrick-on-Suir in partnership with the Municipal District, will feature a vibrant parade, friendly competitions, cultural performances, live music, food stalls, and family-friendly activities, all designed to celebrate the strength and creativity of our community.
Honouring Our Grand Marshals
Leading this year’s parade with great pride will be our Grand Marshals: Special Olympics Ireland and Athletes along with Joseph O’Brien Carriganóg Racing. Their leadership, dedication, and commitment to excellence reflect the community spirit. We are honoured to celebrate them as they take center stage in this momentous event.
A Call to Get Involved!
