In 2025, we’re celebrating The Year of the Snake with a vibrant themed parade: Snakes!
This ties together the legendary story of St. Patrick chasing the snakes out of Ireland and the Chinese zodiac’s Year of the Snake.

We’re calling on all local community groups to help make this event as colourful, musical, and lively as possible! Whether your part of a school, club, or organization, we’d love your creativity in crafting floats, costumes, and decorations that bring this theme to life.

We’ll be collaborating with local junior and senior schools to create snake-themed floats, artwork, and parade pieces—ensuring a day filled with colour, music, and excitement!

Save the Date: St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2025. Location: Rush National School to the Anchor on the Square

Let’s join together to celebrate our national day in spectacular style. Slither on down and be part of this unforgettable parade!
