“The Festival is growing every year, we had some really great events on over the weekend and everyone in the town seemed to really enjoy them. We were very lucky with the great weather which attracted record numbers to all of our events. The parade was our largest to date and had more floats, colour and music than ever before. As a committee we worked tirelessly to ensure the people of Bray had a great St. Patrick’s weekend,” said Mick Glynn, Chairman, St. Patrick’s Festival Committee.
