Huddersfield St Patrick's Day Parade

Play hard, Party harder! That’s the order from organisers as they embark upon the 19th Huddersfield Saint Patrick's Day Parade

The family festival of fun rolls into town once more – a week ahead of Ireland’s feast day - on Sunday March 10th at 1pm and Huddersfield have used the early date to their advantage by attracting some of the best acts in the country.

The players are led by the Birmingham Irish Pipe and Drum band, just one of twenty five acts ready to keep the party pumping. Mna na hEireann and All Saints Catholic College with a modern Irish karaoke, The Cassidy School of Irish Dancers dancing to the beat and Terry the Terrier chanting along with the noisy Huddersfield Town fans, are just a few of the groups keeping it loud and lively.

Other artistes include: RWD Rewind Covers Band, the rock ‘n’ roll outfit: Jive Time, Celtic Uno, Ballyhoo, Finbarr’s Causeway, The Ferryman, Sarah Jay, Huddersfield Samba Bateria, The Frumptarn Guggenband, Silver Stars Majorettes, The Huddersfield Giants Cheerleaders and Dolly Mixtures Street Dancers.

They will be backed up by Brothers Pearse GAA, The Huddersfield Irish Centre, St Patrick’s Club, compere DJ Chris and disco, St Patrick’s School, Huddersfield University, Hands off HRI, and Saint Patrick leading his followers - including The Turfman, Molly Malone and the leprechauns - to the shindig.

So go along, sing, dance, clap and cheer at the Huddersfield Saint Patrick's day Parade. Let the players play as you party away.
