Ballincollig’s annual StPatrick’s Day Parade returns at 3PM, filling the town’s streets with a carnival atmosphere until around 6PM. Celebrating community pride, the parade features colourful floats, live music and dancing. The 2025 theme “There’s No Place Like Ballincollig” highlighted the town’s unique spirit; the 2026 parade promises similar vibrancy as local schools, sports clubs and businesses showcase creative entries. Families can enjoy the spectacle along the route and join in cheering on the participants.
