New Zealand's capital city, Wellington, is preparing for
another world first in 2021 with an official, public parade
to mark St. Patrick's Day.
Wellingtonians are being
encouraged to wear something green and celebrate St
Patrick's Day on Sunday, 14 March from 1pm to 5pm with a
family friendly parade starting at Odlins Plaza and ending
at Queens Wharf.
Wellington Irish President, Ian Long
said the St Patrick's Day Parade this year was extra special
due to Covid-19 restrictions around the world curtailing
many public gatherings and the parade provided
Wellingtonians a unique opportunity to celebrate a love for
all things Irish.
