EVERY year, it’s people that make the St Patrick’s Day parade special in Tralee.

This year was obviously no exception with almost every club, society, community group and  charity organisation taking part.

Local businesses too were prominent and many had representatives giving their time to act as stewards along the parade route.

The younger participants brought colour and noise to proceedings and showed the great community spirit evident in our town. Scroll down for photos…
