The Brisbane Irish Festival
The Brisbane Irish Festival is a long-standing annual event that promotes and celebrates the occasion of St Patrick’s Day, Irish culture, and its contribution to the state of Queensland. Come and join us as we paint the town green again on Saturday 15th March 2025.

2025 Parade theme
In 2025, the parade will embrace the ‘Women in song’ theme. We encourage participants to get creative and become contenders for the Jan Dooley St. Patrick’s Day Parade Participant Award. Like the iconic Molly Malone, Irish women in song often embody resilience, beauty, and tragedy, symbolising strength and community. These themes can be brought to life visually with traditional dress, flowing scarves, and music.
