Celbridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Celbridge St. Patrick's Day Parade

Happy St. Patrick's Day from all of us at Celbridge Community Council

Celbridge Community Council took over organising the Celbridge St Patrick's Day Parade in 2019 when the previous committee, headed up by Declan Tumilty & Mick Lothian, approached us to say that after 10 years of growing and developing the parade it was time for them to pass on the mantle and would we consider taking over from them.  We were delighted to be asked and we're very thankful to the previous committee for the detailed handover and for the guidance they offered, all of which made for a very smooth transition.

The 2025 parade will be our 5th parade and we hope you will agree that we have continued in the foot-steps of the previous committee by growing and developing the Celbridge parade into one of the best St. Patrick's Day Parade's in Kildare.  However, the success of the parade is by no means solely down to the hard work and dedication of our sub-committee team, there is a long list of individuals, clubs, groups, businesses and organisations that support us every step of the way!
