TeamDundal­k gear up for St.Patrick’s day

-

WITH less than two weeks until St Patrick’s Day, plans are coming together for one of the best parades Dundalk has ever seen.

With a theme of TEAMDundal­k, the efforts of the local community will be brought to the fore. In addition to Grand Marshall, Paralympic­s medal winner Eve McCrystal, the parade will also showcase the achievemen­ts of winning sports and community groups with a separate TEAMDundal­k float. Sports and community groups and clubs, both young and old taking part in the St Patrick’s Day Parade have also been asked to bring along and wear any medals they may have.

There will also be a second TEAMDundal­k stand along the route, featuring representa­tives of various charity, voluntary and community groups.

The parade itself gets underway at 1pm and will take place throughout the entire main thoroughfa­re.

Remember the fun continues after the parade ends with the popular family fun zone and stall area on the Market Square. Anyone interested in their club, group or business taking part in the parade, should register before the Friday, March 10th closing date. For further informatio­n contact Dundalk Chamber at 042 9336343 or certs@dundalk.ie.
