THE 2019 DELVIN ST PATRICKS PARADE IS OVER!

For more than twenty years, the annual Delvin Parade has entertained the crowds with larger than life characters, hilarious sketches, marching bands, displays of incredible skill and the best of local talent. 

Having been snowed off in 2018, the Parade returned refreshed and bolder than ever with a new committee at the helm and a host of floats.  Guest of honour was Anna May McHugh - Managing Director of the National Ploughing Association.

THANK YOU to everyone who joined in or supported the Parade. See you in 2020!
