St. Patrick’s Day Parade this year is driven by our Community and emergence post Covid highlighting our sporting ambitions, an increase in the number of community groups (over 75) and volunteerism, new arrivals into our village, values of community, diversity, youth, biodiversity and sustainability. The theme ‘’A Community with Ambition’ reflects our community spirit, energy and gives hope for the future of our village on many levels. The parade will feature the traditional mix of floats, musicians and community groups.   There will be several prizes ranging from best dressed on day, best community walker group, best float, shiniest tractor, best window display and the best interpretation of the theme.   The organising team of volunteers invites all sporting and community groups across all of our community to come together to celebrate, participate,  share and shine a light on our ambitions and goals for 2023 and beyond. The parade will start at 2pm sharp, all floats/cars/tractors will start to arrive at the Kinvara GAA grounds from 1pm and all walkers/community groups need to be at St. Josephs NS by 1.30pm.  The parade (and route) will make its way from the Kinvara GAA grounds, up past St. Josephs NS, down Main Street, around Connolly’s pub and will end at the green near the Pier head restaurant.
