With just over two weeks to go to St Patrick’s Day, the organising committee of the Mullingar Festival are finalising their preparations for the big event, which will incorporate the first St Patrick’s Day Parade in the town since 2017.
The theme for the parade is ‘Green’, not only St Patrick’s Day green but green for the environment. The festival committee are seeking to limit the amount of emissions from large vehicles, and reduce the use of plastics (such as balloons) and paper from promotional leaflets with this year’s ‘environmentally green’ theme.
