St Patrick's Day Spring Carnival Parade 2026
"What we nurture will flourish and what we protect will endure"
This year’s St Patrick’s day parade welcomes the changing of the seasons as we emerge from the darkness of winter.
Spring is a time associated with flowering, growth and the fertility of the land, our parade will see that long tradition continue. Under the creative theme of ‘What we nurture will flourish and what we protect will endure’ the parade will be a celebration of the natural world and the environment. The City’s streets will spring to life with participants representing not only the diversity of nature but also our diverse communities in civic celebration.
The Spring Carnival Parade will depart Bishop Street Carpark at 3.00pm with crowds expected to gather in advance.
