St Patrick's Day Parade

Date: Tuesday 17 March 2026 at 1.30pm

Venue: City centre

A dazzling display of costume, music, dance and theatrical performance will bring the streets of Belfast alive this St Patrick’s Day.

Our annual parade will weave its way through the city centre on Tuesday 17 March.

With colourful live performance and a high energy soundtrack, this year’s parade will include some new elements to celebrate the legends of St Patrick.

Local dance troupes, schools, community groups and musicians will also be taking part in the spectacle.

This is a diverse multi-cultural, cross community celebration and everyone is welcome.

The parade is a free event and you do not need a ticket.
