    I believe there's a parade on Sunday, 11:30am from Dominic Street.

    The Galway Shopping Centre on Headford Rd (where Tesco is) will be hosting the Galway Dance Team on Saturday afternoon starting at noon. They're Poland's top Irish dance team, winning multiple awards - their most recent success being 3 trophies and 12 medals at the international Prague Feis 2012.

    It's a chance to see a real professional team perform live and free-of-charge. There will also be lots of audience interaction, including free dance lessons.

    They'll also be a part of the Polish entry in this year's parade on Sunday.

    Just be early and it's usually ok everywhere. It does get really really crowded so anyone with buggys or bikes will have a very difficult time.
