The St. Patrick’s Day Festival will run for four fun-filled days from March 15th–18th, 2024, in Waterford City and will celebrate the very best of what the city has to offer and what makes it the best place to live, work and visit.

We’ve long been recognised for our strong cultural scene, and this year’s extended St. Patrick’s Day Festival will make for a fun-filled and exciting weekend.

The city is easily accessible for families to enjoy the festivities. With an array of shopping & dining choices in the City, this festival gives you an extra opportunity to experience what Waterford has to offer.

The parade will start at 1pm, with entries gathering at the Bridge Street end of the Quay.

The parade begins at the Waterford Bus Station and will proceed along the Quay, past the Clock Tower and the Plaza, moving around to the Mall. The viewing platform will be outside City Hall and the route will finish at the Parnell St. end of the Mall.

Come early to get the best view of the spectacular parade! There is no better way to experience the sights and sounds of the parade than by finding a great spot along the Parade route.
