Midleton’s 2026 St Patrick’s Day Parade takes over the town’s main streets from 3PM until around 6PM. The theme for 2026 is “Irish Mythology and Folklore,” encouraging schools, clubs and businesses to craft floats and costumes inspired by Irish legends. Following the pattern of previous years, the parade assembles near the end of Main Street before moving through the town centre with community groups, marching bands and dancers. Local residents and visitors are encouraged to line the route and join a celebration of the town’s creativity and heritage.
