Birmingham Irish Association pleased to bring the St Patricks Day festival under its remit ..

St. Patrick’s Parade, 2024 and beyond ..

Birmingham Irish Association are so pleased to have been able to bring back our well-loved Parade under its remit, and in March 2024 we were supported by the launch of Pairc Festival at the St. Patrick’s Parade that took place in Digbeth.

“We aim to secure the Parade for future generations and to showcase all Irish traditional culture, music, dance, language and Gaelic sports, as well as marking the contributions of the Irish community to the City of Birmingham."

We will release frequent information about the parade as we move closer to each event, which will be shared via social media and our website news blog.

In March 2023, Maurice Malone, Chief Executive 
of Birmingham Irish Association said;

“Birmingham Irish Association are pleased to bring the annual Birmingham St Patricks Day festival under its remit and will take the opportunity to review, refresh and refocus the Parade, revitalised in the 1990’s. In no small way we believe the St Patrick’s Day festival and the Irish community helped to keep Digbeth alive and turn it into the vibrant cultural 
area it is today, but due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control it will not happen in 
this location in 2023.

“We aim to secure the Parade for future generations and showcase all Irish Traditional culture, music, dance, language and Gaelic sports, and the contribution of the Irish community to Birmingham. BIA will be working with participants, partners and Birmingham City Council to see what is feasible 
given timeframes and budget pressures and 
location issues. Discussions are in the early stages and no firm decisions have been made.”
"We hope to see you all to celebrate with us from 2024 and beyond"
