The Port of Waterford building in George’s Street, home to Waterford Chamber, is going green for St Patrick’s Day and we are asking our members to follow suit.

Get in touch if you would like green filters for your exterior lights or join in the fun by dressing your window. You can also get involved at home.

Waterford is to be the host to Ireland’s largest virtual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Over the coming weeks we are asking the community of Waterford to plan a parade at home or in your garden, all within the current restrictions. Dress up and parade around your garden, your street, your green and record a short video to upload to a dedicated Facebook group page. Waterford needs you, the Community, to play your part in bringing to life our annual Parade, with all your heart and soul.

Watch out across Waterford City and County as our landmark buildings go green in the lead up to St. Patrick’s Day. The Waterford City parade route will be flooded in green lighting on and before St. Patrick’s Day, as will many of our iconic buildings across Waterford County.

Fáilte Ireland are engaging with RTE in the hope of attracting more coverage for these events when it all kicks off in mid March.

The online Story Map will capture the event in totality and give us a unique piece of digital social history with multiple promotional elements within. Highlights will include Thomas Francis Meagher Bypass Bridge, Kilmacthomas Viaduct, Metal Man Tramore, Reginald’s Tower and much more.

More details on this exciting project will be available on www.waterfordcouncil.ie and the Waterford St Patrick's Day FB page.
