2025 Parade theme
In 2025, the parade will embrace the ‘Women in Irish 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.
