Parade Info | Japanese

The St. Patrick's Day Parade is Ireland's most celebrated festival and one of the world's biggest international events. In Japan, parades are held in locations as widespread as Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto, Ise and Sendai every year, and this year Nagoya will host its fourth parade.

Not only Irish people, but people of all nationalities, races and creeds are invited to join in the celebrations.

This year's Nagoya Parade promises to be even more fun filled and entertaining than previous years. The parade will be packed with marching bands, live Irish music and dancing, face painting and Irish Red Setter dogs especially flown in for the occasion. Put on some green and bring yourself, your loved ones, your family and friends to Osu Kannon for what promises to be a day to remember.
