Finuge St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Finuge St. Patrick’s Day Parade – Tuesday 17th March | 3.00pm

Get ready, Finuge! Our St. Patrick’s Day Parade kicks off at 3.00pm from Whelan’s Cross, and we’re inviting everyone to be part of a fantastic afternoon of colour, music and community spirit.

Come out, line the route and show your support as families, neighbours, clubs and friends come together to celebrate Lá Fhéile Pádraig in true Finuge style.

When the parade finishes, the celebrations will continue in McCarthy’s Bar, keeping the energy and community spirit alive into the evening.

Fáilte roimh chách – everyone is welcome.
