And we were back after a 2 year hiatus St Patrick’s Day returned to the streets of Downpatrick and we were so excited to get are new floats on parade. Five floats in total were designed by the very talented Kieron Black. Working with St Colmcilles Primary, Our Lady and St Patrick’s Primary, St Brigids Primary, Downpatrick Bunscoil and Downpatrick Community Collective and Youth Initiatives Downpatrick DCA put together a stunning range of floats and costumes for St Patricks Day 2022. Over 200 children took part in our workshops supported by some very talented artists and it goes without saying that non e of this could be achieved without the support of our main funder Arts Council of Northern Ireland. Thank you!
