The Birmingham Irish Association are so pleased to be bringing back our well-loved Parade from March 2024.
In March 2023, Maurice Malone, Chief Executive of Birmingham Irish Association said;
“Birmingham Irish Association are pleased to bring the annual Birmingham St Patricks Day festival under its remit and will take the opportunity to review, refresh and refocus the Parade, revitalised in the 1990’s. In no small way we believe the St Patrick’s Day festival and the Irish community helped to keep Digbeth alive and turn it into the vibrant cultural area it is today, but due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control it did not happen in this location in 2023.
“We aim to secure the Parade for future generations and showcase all Irish Traditional culture, music, dance, language and Gaelic sports, and the contribution of the Irish community to the City of Birmingham. The Association will be working with participants, partners and Birmingham City Council to see what is feasible given timeframes and budget pressures and location issues. Discussions are in the early stages and no firm decisions have been made.”
