St. Patrick’s Festival are delighted to collaborate with community groups from across Fingal County on a new pageant, as part of the Swords St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The pageant will be inspired by local mythology and traditions such as the Legend of St. Patrick,  Ériu the Goddess of Ireland, and St.  Patrick’s Island, the island off the coast of Skerries where St. Patrick is reputed to have first landed on Irish shores.

Local groups will be involved in a series of artist led workshops exploring these themes alongside contemporary stories, before a live performance at the 2019 Swords Parade.
