Swinford on St Patricks Day?
by Admin Quinns Bar Forum Mon Feb 15, 2010 4:24 am
St. Patrick's Day in Swinford
Swinford usually holds one of the "Better" Saint Patrick's Day Celebrations Parades coupled with many other general events in any County Mayo town. The town is usually buzzing regardless of the weather for the day and into the night.
Many people come home from abroad to celebrate and as the locality has had a high immigration rate down the years the crows can swell. The joy, happiness and merriment is usually very palpable.
The 2010 St. Patrick's Day is the 59th in Swinford and expected to be one to remember. It starts at 3pm.
There will be lots of bands, floats, themes, local business entries, games and all sorts of fun!
The Swinford St. Patrick's Day Parade Theme for 2010 is "Volunter".
Prizes will be awarded as follows:-
