2010 New Dublin (New
London) Wisconsin
March 21st, 2010 - The Grand Parade is at 1:00 pm with Irish Fest at 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. It is estimated that more than twenty five thousand people converge upon New London each year for Saturday’s Grand Parade. The parade is the largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in Wisconsin with many unique entries that include marching & bagpipe bands, and clan & business floats. There are over 100 units. Irish Fest is held under a huge heated big top tent and features two Celtic bands along with Irish food, beverages, and market booths. It’s great fun for the whole family. There are many weekday activities and events preceding the parade and Irish Fest. Corned beef and cabbage is served throughout the week at local restaurants and there are evenings that include Irish Caroling, local Irish Entertainment, an Irish Wake, and an Irish Ceili. Visit a schedule of events. The legendary St. Patrick’s Day festivities officially begin each year when leprechauns of the local Shamrock Club rename the city of New London, Wisconsin to ‘New Dublin’ for the week. The festivities are presented each year by the Shamrock Club of New Dublin. Their purpose is to bring together individuals of Irish descent or relationship (or those that wish they were) for the purpose of celebrating being Irish. Come to 'New Dublin' this March for the Grand Parade, Irish Fest, and daily activities!
