Athy's 2013 St. Patrick's Day Parade will be bigger and brighter than
ever. The Athy Town Promoters Group is calling on all community, sporting
and cultural organisations in the town and surrounding areas to join
them to help showcase the best South Kildare has to offer. In addition, a
special appeal is being made to local businesses to take part and join
in the town's annual parade, which attracts thousands of visitors for
one of the region's best family events.
The Athy Town Promoters
Group was formed in 2009 and is committed to proactively promoting the
'Celebrate Athy' theme through festivals and events in our town. The
group is comprised of representatives of Athy Chamber, Shop Athy, Athy
Town Council, Athy Tidy Towns, Age Action, Brand Athy, Kildare County Show and the Athy
Heritage Centre-Museum. The organisers acknowledge the grateful
assistance of Athy Gardai, Civil
Defence and the Order of Malta.
Entry forms to participate in
the parade are now available from Margaret Walsh at the Athy Heritage
Centre Museum (Tel.: 059 8633075/ email: athyheritage@eircom.net).
