Join us for Wisconsin's largest Saint Patrick's Day Parade and
an Irish Fest on March 17th, 2012 in downtown New London,
Wisconsin. The legendary week of festivities begin when
local
Shamrock Club leprechauns change the town's name to 'New
Dublin'.
The
Grand Parade
typically has a full lineup of multiple
bagpipe bands, marching bands, festive clowns,
specialty units, clans,
Finnegan's
Wake, and
business floats--well over 100 units. Bring the whole family to watch
this renown event!
The New Dublin Irish
Fest is a music festival held under a huge heated big top that
each year features two dynamic Celtic bands. There are beverages, Irish
food, and market booths. The 2012 bands are
Green Tea and
Sheamus
Fitzpatrick and the McNally Boys.
St. Patrick's Day
in New Dublin
is a week-long celebration that includes an exciting
schedule of weeknight activities too. They include; Irish
caroling, Irish entertainment
on stage, an
Irish Céili gathering, and an Irish wake parody. Corned beef and cabbage is widely served during the week
in area restaurants and pubs.
