Tens of thousands of spectators will be thrilled by the 2023 Limerick St. Patrick’s Day parade, with over 1500 people set to march their way down O’Connell Street before finishing on Henry Street on Friday, 17 March 2023 from 12 noon.

The “Discover Limerick” theme will be to the fore of this year’s parade, with Viking warriors reminding us all of who “discovered” Limerick first.

Spectators attending the parade can look forward to old favourites, Buí Bolg who this year are collaborating with Limerick Youth Festival to help celebrate their 50th anniversary.

Lumen Street Theatre return along with Limerick Youth Dance Company, Cloughjordan Circus Club, the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance with stilt-walkers, musicians, and of course all your favourite clubs, bands and groups adding to the colour on the day.

Parade Route

Starting on O’Connell Avenue/Roden Street junction, the route for the parade will turn left onto Glentworth Street this year, before making a right turn onto Henry Street, as the parade continues its way to Rutland Street.
