Kilkenny Karate Club was one of the parade participants
Awards for the best floats from this year's Kilkenny St Patrick's Day parade will be handed out next week.
Mayor of Kilkenny Joe Malone is hosting the St Patrick's Day Parade awards presentation on Thursday, April 4 at St Canice‘s Neighbourhood Hall, Butts Green.
The parade featured hugely colourful displays by street artists from all over Ireland and activities specially designed for young people, from face painting, drumming workshops, magicians and circus performers. There was a great turnout and an explosion of colour and community spirit.
As well as the dozens of community, cultural, sporting and artistic groups, the parade was led by Grand Marshall, Kilkenny hurling legend and bestselling author, Richie Power. There was also a special guest appearance by Stephen Mulrooney, fresh from his newfound stardom as singer on the Late Late Toy Show and singing at Ireland’s recent rugby international against Italy.
