Macroom’s St Patrick’s Day parade sees bumper to bumper pre-bypass traffic return
A giant tractor makes an appearance at the Macroom parade on St. Patrick's Day.
The rain held off and the streets of Macroom were thronged to welcome the town’s traditional St. Patrick’s Day parade, featuring a steam engine, massive tractors, local sporting clubs and the, guests of honour, all the way from Pennsylvania, Philadelphi’s Woodland String Band.
The Woodland String Band and around 100 followers brought the parade to a colourful finale as they made a welcome return to the town, three years after their last visit to participate in the festivities were so rudely interrupted by the onset of the Covid pandemic and associated lockdown.
