St Patrick's Day Parade and Festival - March 16 2008
The St Patrick's Day Parade will again see marching bands from all 32 Irish counties as well as representation from London Irish community, other community groups, sports cubs, schools. All these as well as street theatre performers will take to the streets of central London for a fun filled family spectacle.
Starting from Park Lane at noon, the parade moves off along Piccadilly, Lower Regent Street, Pall Mall East, Trafalgar Square and Whitehall before dispersing on Whitehall Place.
As well as the Parade itself, London will play host to an Irish festival for the day! At Trafalgar Square there will be a stage showcasing the best of Irish music and dance, from traditional to contemporary and the largest Irish travel exhibition in Britain. Covent Garden will come alive with a food market bursting with a wide range of Ireland’s finest food and drink. Leicester Square will host a giant Ceili where dancers of all ages and ability can come together and enjoy a lively afternoon of traditional Irish dancing.
This is always a great, good-humoured and fun day out for all the family.
