The St Patrick’s Day Parade will make its way through town tomorrow.
IT’S nearly time for the St Patricks Day parade in Tralee and final preparations are being made for a fantastic day of entertainment tomorrow.
‘Cúpla Focal’ is this year’s theme and spectators can expect to see a colourful display of floats, vibrant marching bands, dancers and traditional Irish music and entertainment on the day, while local Community Garda Mary Gardiner will be Grand Marshal.
The parade will kick off at 12 noon from the John Joe Sheehy Road and wind its way through the heart of the town. It’s a bit early to say for sure if the weather will hold, but at the moment showers are forecast.
