Despite the recession, Wexford Town had a huge turnout for this year's parade - by both participants and spectators. Every vantage point from Maudlintown to Redmond Square was taken up early by the thousands that turned out to watch the parade. It was a credit to the people of Wexford, who, in the hard times we are now experiencing, rose to the cause. Wexford had six bands along with eighty seven groups and floats: the biggest parade yet in the town since the parades started.
The glorious sunshine was brillant on the morning and good humour, by both those participating and spectating, was a joy to see. Our sincere thanks to all those that took part in the parade, and to those that turned out to encourage and applaud the groups taking part. We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to all those that sponsored the parade. The Wexford Town St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee thank each and every one of you, and we would encourage the public to please support our contributors.

If you are a visitor to our town, may we extend a Céad Mile Fáilte to you, and hope that you will enjoy the hospitality of our town.
