The Danno O’Keeffe Memorial Plaque which is currently held by Southampton Fire Brigade from New York, will be presented to the best entry in the Parade again this year.

The Parade is set to commence at 12:30pm, with all participating groups requested to assemble at Ashmount Terrace by 12:15pm. This timely gathering ensures a coordinated start to the festivities which allows participants to showcase their creativity and enthusiasm to the locals and visitors who line the streets all along the route. Motorists should expect some short traffic delays between 12 & 2pm on the day to facilitate the Parade.
