The 2017 Cobh St. Patrick’s Day Parade will take place on Friday March 17th starting on the Low Road by Cobh Heritage Centre at 3.30 pm.

The theme of the Parade is “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” and all participants are invited to embrace the theme. Think about aspirations, positivity, colour and fun when decorating Floats and vehicles and create imaginative costumes for the occasion to make the day fun for everyone!

Participation is open to individuals, groups, associations, companies, businesses and sports clubs from all around Cork Harbour and we encourage as many as possible to enter this year’s Parade and help us to match the success of recent years. A special appeal is being made to businesses to enter the parade. It is an ideal opportunity to showcase your business to thousands of potential customers.

All walking entries will assemble on the Deep Water Quay which will have barriers along the water side. All vehicle entries will be lined up on the Low Road with access via the Whitepoint end ONLY. Mixed entries should have the vehicle(s) on the Low Road and the pedestrian element on the Deep Water Quay. The Parade will end at the Old Town Hall and vehicles must continue along Harbour Row to avoid congestion.

To encourage maximum participation there will once again be no entry fee for entries received up to and including the 10th March.THERE WILL BE A LATE ENTRY FEE for entries received after 10th March of €50. Timely return of entry forms will allow the organisers to plan the running order of the parade and to post the running order on visitcobh.com in advance of the parade which will assist everyone. All late entries will be at the back of the parade.

There will be prizes for the Best Commercial and Best Non Commercial Entries and the perpetual trophy will be presented to the Best Overall Entry.
