St. Patrick's Day Parade

Plans are been drawn up for the Ballycastle Parade on St. Patrick's Day.

An open invitation has been issued to local organisations, clubs, bands and sports groups to get the ball rolling immediately and be ready to take part as participants rather than spectators this year. Schools, Sports clubs and the business sector are asked to consider taking part.

 

Local businesses are encouraged to have their shop windows and premises decked out in festive colours and displays. Participation is encouraged by the huge array of sporting clubs and organisations active in Ballycastle and North Mayo at present while music, dance, fitness, drama, theatrical and creative groups are also encouraged to get behind this year's parade and march behind their flags and banners.

 

Assembly will be from 12.05pm (after Mass) at the Community Hall with the parade moving off at 12.20pm. To ensure ease and safety of passage along the parade route and in particular at the Sea Road , participating floats and lorries should not exceed the designated speed limit. All wishing to participate in the parade contact Maura Healy, Seán O'Grady or any member of BEO (Ballycastle Events Organisation).
