“A massive THANK YOU to everyone of the 40,000 people who came to the Parade. This afternoon was a wonderful celebration with over 40 groups with 1,500 participants taking part in the parade. It was great to see all the different floats, the large multicultural elements, music, dance and entertainment celebrating the spirit of St. Patrick”.
“We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to the many volunteers, businesses, families, artists and community groups that helped to make this year’s festival and parade happen. We could not have done it without you”.
