Experience the celebration

Join us for a vibrant St Patrick’s Day celebration that transforms Enniskillen Castle and the Broadmeadow into a hub of family fun, followed by a spectacular parade through the heart of our island town.

Family Fun Day – 1.00pm to 3.30pm

Get into the spirit with an afternoon packed with entertainment and activities for all ages. Enjoy live traditional music and dancing, interactive family entertainment and high-energy attractions – all free to enjoy.

Fancy something different? Head out on Lough Erne for water-based adventures, or travel to one of our islands for active pursuits. If you’d prefer to slow down, settle in for traditional storytelling in Enniskillen’s oldest building.

With catering vendors on site and free sweet treats throughout the afternoon, there’s plenty to keep everyone happy.

Traditional St Patrick’s Parade – 3.30pm to 4.30pm

Watch the much-loved parade wind through Enniskillen’s town centre, crossing our iconic bridges and showcasing the unique geography of our island town. The parade travels from Enniskillen Castle, loops through the heart of the town, and returns to the castle.

Arrive early to secure a good viewing spot. Enjoy pre-parade entertainment from the fabulous folkabilly group The Hand Me Downs, with special surprise appearances along the main route.

Plan your visit

Up to 30,000 visitors expected throughout the day, so arrive early for the best experience.
