About the event

Dublin Ireland St Patrick's Day Parade 2026.

Join us on streets of Dublin for the highly anticipated return of the spectacular national St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Tuesday March 17.
 
Winding its way through the streets of Dublin, from Parnell Square to St. Stephen’s Green, the national St. Patrick's Day Parade returns after a two year absence, delighting the hundreds and thousands who will gather.  

Over the last six months, hundreds of Ireland’s most dynamic and innovative performers, musicians, designers, choreographers, pageant engineers, artists and makers have been working on delivering Ireland’s most ambitious street Parade ever, in creativity, scale, length and participant numbers.  

The Parade will be broadcast live on RTÉ, produced by Coco Content for RTÉ, and promises an exciting new look and feel for millions of viewers in Ireland and across the world.

The 2026 Parade will be a fresh, ambitious, bold new vision for both makers and audiences alike, with new pageant participants and bigger creative builds, featuring audience interaction and breathtaking new artistic elements, and a battalion of world-class marching bands.  

No tickets are required for you to attend the St. Patrick's Day Parade.
