From vintage cars to camogie, music and St Patrick himself - this year's Urlingford St Patrick's Day Parade was entertaining for all!
Community groups joined school parties, local companies and even a local transport company, to bring a real sense of fun and celebration to our national day. Well done to everyone who helped to organise the event and everyone who made such a great effort to take part.
The parade was lead through the town by the Moyne National School Band and the Grand Marshall was Seán Hennessy.
