Get ready to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in style! The Thurles St. Patrick’s Day Parade is set for Monday, 17th March 2025 and will kick off from Abbey Road. Gather at 1:30 PM near Jysk Store, and we’ll set off at 2:15 PM for a fantastic afternoon of fun and festivities. This event is proudly supported by Tipperary County Council, Thurles Chamber of Commerce, and local businesses.
We’d love for you to be part of the celebration! The parade has been a huge success over the years, thanks to the amazing participation from local businesses, clubs, schools, and community groups.
This year’s theme is “Mythical Ireland, in the Time of Saint Patrick”—but feel free to get creative with your own ideas. Entry is completely free, so gather your group, put on your best parade spirit, and join in!
Before and during the parade, Liberty Square will be buzzing with live music, face-painting, and plenty of side attractions to keep everyone entertained.
Don’t miss out—come along, take part, and help make this year’s parade one to remember!
