St Patrick's Day Parade

Brisbane’s streets will once again turn green as the city hosts the annual St Patrick's Day Parade from 10:30am on Saturday, March 11, 2023. 

From Irish dancers to Irish pipes, more than 700 participants and 40 floats will participate in this year's St Patrick's Day Parade. 

The parade starts at 10.30am outside the City Botanic Gardens on the corner of Alice and Albert Streets, before heading in a clockwise loop through Alice, George, Margaret, and Edward Streets.

The Irish ‘craic’ continues in the Botanic Gardens throughout the day, with live music and more than 30 stalls offering food, drinks, and crafts from 8am until 2pm. 

So, whether you’re an Irish expat, a descendant or simply have a soft spot for the Emerald Isle, everyone in Brisbane is welcome to join in the fun and celebrate St Patrick’s Day 2023.
