The atmosphere in town will be wonderful as we look forward to the much-anticipated parade and a tremendous display of activities – but we need help.

Please assist where you can. Be part of the proud community that delivers these wonderful events and you are guaranteed great entertainment and a few laughs along the way.

FREE Drop in Workshops

Drop in workshops will be inviting participants to help create giant butterflies and bees to decorate Main Street for St. Patrick’s Day. These will be taster sessions with willow work where participants can drop in and stay for as long as they like to meet people, learn new skills, and create amazing artwork to decorate Killarney’s streets this St. Patrick’s day.
