Wednesday March 17th 2010 Nottingham City will again be even greener! The annual St.Patrick's Day Parade will make its way from the Forest to the Market Square. There will be a free openair concert throughout the afternoon showcasing the best of Irish traditional music, song and dance.

This year we have chosen Co. Waterford to be standard bearer and are seeking people from the 'crystal county' to come forward to be part of our Grand Marshal leaders. We are also planning a 'twinning' between Nottingham City and Waterford City. We are inviting and helping local schools to prepare costumes and we offer an open invitation to other cultural groups in the city community to come and parade with us. The big wheel will be in the Market Square to give people a 'birds eye view' of events. Finally, coming direct from Ireland to be our headline performer in the Market Square is John McNicholl and his Band.

So Céad Mile Fáilte to all who take part.
