Brisbane St Patrick's Day 2025 Parade

Come and celebrate everything Irish at the Brisbane St Patrick’s Day Parade on 15th March 2025 from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. There will be fun for the whole family with over 700 participants and 40 floats in the centre of Brisbane City. The parade will start and end outside the Botanic Gardens on the corner of Alice and Albert Street.

IIn 2025, the parade will embrace the ‘Women in Irish song’ theme. We encourage participants to get creative and become contenders for the Jan Dooley St. Patrick’s Day Parade Participant Award. Like the iconic Molly Malone, Irish women in song often embody resilience, beauty, and tragedy, symbolising strength and community. These themes can be brought to life visually with traditional dress, flowing scarves, and music.

PICNIC IN THE GARDENS

We'll be celebrating into the day and after the parade in the wonderful Botanic Gardens, so stick around for some live music and tasty food from the 30 stalls offering food, drinks and crafts from 8:00am to approx. 2:00pm so the craic is to be had before and after the parade!
