Sligo is preparing for three days of St Patrick's Weekend festivities. Whether it’s one of the 20 trad sessions in over 15 venues around town, the Parade itself or the two days of Live Music at Queen Maeves Square, there will be something for all tastes.

This year's parade theme is "The Wild Atlantic Way" .

The Sligo St Patrick's Day Parade is set to take place on March 17th, starting at midday on Mail Coach Road and winding its way through the city down Temple St, Wine St, Quay St, O'Connell St, Grattan St and finishing on Pearse Road.
