St. Patrick’s Day parades celebrate Irish culture and heritage, featuring colorful floats, bagpipe bands, dancers, and participants in traditional Irish attire.

These parades take place in cities across the globe, particularly in regions with large Irish communities, such as the United States, Canada, and Europe. It’s a festive day filled with music, dance, and Irish pride, often accompanied by street performances and family-friendly events. Each parade brings together communities to honor St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

Paris Port Dover Pipe Band

Paris Port Dover Pipe Band was formed in 2000 with ten pipers and one drummer. It has grown from its humble beginnings to over 100 members. Members include pipers and drummers ranging in ability from beginner to advanced but all share a passion for Scottish music and culture. At the Calgary Stampede in 2004, the band won second place over several more experienced bands. The band confidently competed in front of 35 million television viewers and 400,000 spectators, and played at Spruce Meadows Equestrian Centre by exclusive invitation. Surrounded by the Majestic Rocky Mountains at the Lake Louise Lodge the band played an impromptu performance which furthered their impressive reputation.
