    Hi all, any recommendation for Paddys day parades tomorrow?

    Skerries
    Swords
    Balbriggan
    Rush

    Lusk


    Who does it best?
    Is this year going to be low key?
    Any cancellations to note?

    Should I just head into town and avoid disapointment?

    Anywere in fingal would suit as it looks like the weather will be good ;-)

    Its been years since I attended any parade but having a kid has ended the paddys days session so now I have to resort to normal folk Paddys day.

    The only local parade I've ever been to is the one in Skerries, but I can highly recommend it.

    Theres always a good atmosphere at the Balbriggan parade. Its a fairly standard local parade - nothing too exciting but the children really enjoy it and thats what its all about. There were great pictures from last year on Balbriggan.net to give you an idea


    Balbriggan Parade

    You'd be better off asking in the Dublin City forum.
