Enfield’s parade is expected to be one of the largest in Leintster outside Dublin with 35 floats entered so far. The parade commences at 3pm from the GAA pitch, will be led by a colour party from the FCA and two bands - the Communications Workers Union band and an accordion band from Lucan.
The parade’s first float is the Edenderry Harriers with a 20 strong horse contingent, which is making its first appearance. A local man from Clonard, director of Low Loader Services will also have trucks in the parade.
The theme for this year’s parade is ‘Life After the Motorway’. Entries were invited in the following categories - most topical, best community, most humorous, best walking group, best commercial, best environmental and best individual. It is expected that there will be a shop window competition for local businesses in conjunction with the parade. A presentation ceremony takes place at a local venue after the parade.
Alternatively the Trim parade is at 3pm, will take off from the ring road, and will follow a route along Patrick Street, through to Emmet Street and onto Market Street before passing by the reviewing stand at the courthouse and onto Castle Street.
