This
year we have chosen Co.Waterford to be standard bearer and are seeking people
from the 'crystal county' to come forward to be part of our Grand Marshal
leaders. We are also planning a 'twinning' between Nottingham City
and Waterford City. We are inviting and helping
local schools to prepare costumes and we offer an open invitation to other
cultural groups in the city community to come and parade with us.We are
having very collaborative planning meetings with the city council
,police, trams/buses! to ensure a smooth safe parade route and non-disruptive
to the business of the day. Our parade and festival brings many more
people into the city centre to experience the vibrant cultural, shopping,
tourism opportunities and the big wheel will be in the Market Square to give people a 'birds eye
view' of events. Finally, coming direct from Ireland to be our headline
performer in the Market Square
is John McNicholl and his Band - http://www.johnmcnicholl.com/contact.html.
So Céad Mile Fáilte to all who take part
