CRITICAL EYE / SÚIL GHRINN: From dreary to diverse

Thu, Mar 13, 2025

Galway's St Patrick's Day parade has become, somewhat unexpectedly, one of the things I most look forward to in the year. Some of my earliest memories are of uninspiring parades in the dreary 1980s. I swear that one year it consisted only of flat-bed trucks, with nothing on them. Before Macnas imported a theatrical approach to street performance, the parade was often more obligation than entertainment.
