The Brisbane Irish Festival
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, Irish culture, and its legacy in Queensland! Come and join us as we paint the town green again on Saturday 13th March 2027.
Support the 2027 parade and Brisbane Irish Festival
The Brisbane St. Patrick’s Day Parade relies upon funding and the support and generosity of local businesses to hold this community-run parade. All proceeds help fund the St Patrick’s Day Parade and promote the Brisbane Irish festival.
2026 Parade theme
In 2026, the parade embraced the ‘Gaeilge – The Language of Ireland’ (Teanga na hÉireann) theme. We encouraged participants to get creative and become contenders for the Jan Dooley St. Patrick’s Day Parade Participant Award. Congratulations to ‘Molly Malone’ for winning in 2026.
