Welcome to the official website of the Wexford Town St. Patrick's Day Parade 2013. We hope it will be of some use to you; be it for finding general information on the parade, downloading application forms, viewing picture galleries or finding contact information.


Despite the recession we are now experiencing, the Wexford Town Parade will go ahead as planned this year. Wexford will have nine bands along with one hundred and three groups and floats taking part in the parade; again, it will be one of the biggest parades yet. Our sincere thanks to all the people who have supported us in any way and to the business community of Wexford along with Wexford Credit Union, Wexford Borough Council and Wexford County Council for their financial support for this year's 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 by shopping locally.

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.

Wexford Town's St. Patrick's Day Parade is probably the oldest parade in the country; it started back in 1917 and continued until the outbreak of world war two. In 1946 the parade was re-started. In the early days the parade started in the Swan in the Faythe and would make its way to Rowe Street Church in time for mid-day mass.

The parade has grown over the years, and today Wexford Town hosts one of the premier parades in the country.
We would like to extend a grateful thanks to anyone who sponsored or contributed to this year's parade. If you wish to advertise on this website or make a donation to the parade, please contact the secretary of the Committee. Contact details can be found here.
