With some 90,000 people expected to line the streets of Digbeth, the annual noon day confetti blast will, as always, signal the start of this year’s St Patrick’s Day Parade which will see Irish dancers to Caribbean dancers, Welsh dragons to Chinese dragons, ready for another fun filled festival celebrating the culture and diversity of Birmingham.
This vibrant fun filled festival celebration of multiculturalism – on Sunday March, 11, will see the parade taking its annual route from Camp Hill through to Digbeth – with an added bonus!
The organising committee of Birmingham’s much anticipated St. Patrick’s Festival, in partnership with Kiely Bros, are calling on the city’s community – as one - to join them in celebrating Mother’s Day at the St. Patrick’s parade this year with a host of activity geared around celebrating mothers.
This year’s Festival theme is ‘Celebrating Iconic Women of Birmingham and Ireland’ and in-keeping with the theme, and the fact that the parade falls on Mother’s Day this year, the Festival team have launched a competition to find Birmingham’s Best Mum, which will see one lucky mother winning a VIP package on parade day.
Festival organisers are also inviting people to celebrate the most iconic women in their lives by spoiling their mums with a special message and well wishes that will be displayed on banners and large media screens on the day.
