Parade at St Patrick's Day Spring Carnival

St Patrick's Day Spring Carnival Parade 2025 - Flowers, fur and feathers!

Spring begins with the first green shoots of growth and explodes into a cacophony of colour. This year's St Patrick's Day parade welcomes the changin gof the seasons as we we emerge from the darkness of winter. In ancient times, our ancestors celebrated Spring as a time associated with flowering, growth and the fertility of the land, our parade will see that long tradition continue. Under the creative theme of 'flowers, fur and feathers.' the parade will be a celebration of the natural world. Expect to see dancing daffodils, bees bouncing and foxes flying. The City's streets will spring to life with participants representing not only the diversity of nature but also our diverse communities in civic celebration.

The Spring Carnival Parade will depart Bishop Street Carpark at 3.00pm with crowds expected to gather in advance.
