✨ That’s a wrap on the Maynooth St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2026! ✨

What an incredible day we shared together in our town 💚
We hope you all had the best time from the youngest participants to the proudest spectators lining our streets.

This parade simply wouldn’t happen without you our amazing community. Your support, energy, and spirit are what bring it to life every single year.

A very special and heartfelt thank you to Paul Croghan, who is stepping down as our MC.
Paul, thank you for the years of entertainment, dedication, and laughter you’ve brought to our parade. You are a true community man, involved in so many groups and projects across Maynooth, and your contribution has meant so much to us all.

From our small but mighty committee thank you for being part of something so special.

Until next year… 💚

St. Patrick absolutely stole the show in Maynooth today! ☘️
Looking incredible and owning every moment plant pot in hand and all! 🌿👏

A huge hit with the crowd… safe to say St. Patrick is welcome back in Maynooth anytime! 💚✨

We have a big update on the giant St Patrick statue that made headlines in recent weeks.

After being exiled from Temple Bar by Dublin City Council, he has officially risen again.

You might have spotted his recent makeover (yes, the pint is gone), but now he’s back in action – making an appearance at the Maynooth parade in Co Kildare.

A sincere thank you to Coonan’s for supporting the Maynooth St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2026 as a lead Sponsor.

For over 40 years the parade has been the largest community event in Maynooth, and it simply would not be possible without the continued support of local businesses who give back to the community in this way.

We are very grateful to Coonan’s for helping make this year’s parade possible as we celebrate 850 years of Maynooth with our theme Medieval Maynooth.

The excitement is really building here! One of our committee members was on KFM earlier today giving listeners a sneak peek of what’s in store tomorrow. As a small team, we are incredibly proud of what has been achieved and it simply wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing community. Well done Maynooth
