THIS YEAR
This year we proudly welcome a remarkable musical guest: The Fianna Phádraig Pipe Band (CHECK OUT HERE). The band was founded in 1948 in Wythenshawe, Manchester, by descendants of Irish immigrants who wanted to preserve and develop the tradition of Irish music and dance, with a special focus on the unique style of Irish pipe bands. It is the oldest surviving Irish pipe band in the North of England. Over the years the band has performed throughout the North of England and occasionally in London and the Midlands, as well as at festivals in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Austria and in Ireland. Their rich heritage and powerful sound will give the parade an unforgettable Irish spirit.
Put on something green, join the celebration, and enjoy a true Irish experience in the heart of The Hague
