St Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival 2024

For guaranteed fun and a good-natured party vibe follow the St Patrick’s Day Parade, complete with floats, marching bands and dance troupes. The route is scheduled to start at Hyde Park Corner, passing through Piccadilly around midday. This massive 50,000-person parade passes many iconic London sights before ending at Trafalgar Square. From there the festivities continue with a full show from Irish acts and guests, culminating in a good old singalong with London Irish Community Voices Choir.
