National Feast Day Festivities in Clonmel

Clonmel Chamber is delighted to be playing an important part in the St. Patricks Day festivities in Clonmel on Wednesday next.  There are a host of new elements to the national feast day including a food fair with the Tipperary Food Producers Network at the Main Guard.

The traditional parade will leave from Irishtown at 3.30pm on St. Patricks Day and will weave its way through town to the reviewing stand at Parnell Street.

The parade this year will be the biggest for many years and a large crowd is anticipated. 

Other events planned for St. Patricks Day include a gala evening at Hotel Minella on March 16th.  This event is being organised by Cumann Tobar Naomh Phadraig.  Tickets are still available from PJ Long on 052 6121432
