Omagh is gearing up for an unforgettable St. Patrick’s Day celebration on Monday, 17 March 2025 from 1pm – 4pm.
This year’s theme, “Snakes Alive in ’25”, promises a lively and family-friendly festival packed with music, dance, and community spirit. Inspired by the legendary tale of St. Patrick driving out the snakes, the theme sets the stage for a creative and vibrant showcase of Omagh at its best.
Supported by ‘Housing for All‘ Shared Housing Programme the streets will come alive with music from ‘Tis Not Easy’ and St Eugene’s Brass and Reed Band and family fun. Compered by Radio Star Country favourite DJ Stevie King, the carnival parade will snake its way from South West College along Drumragh Avenue up through the town centre with colourful floats, performers, and groups creatively interpreting this year’s theme.
Following the parade, the very popular ‘Pluck Savage’! will provide live music for a ‘Ceili on the Cobbles’, where the crowd can get involved in favourites such as the Siege of Ennis, the Walls of Limerick and more.
In addition to the entertainment in the town centre, the Strule Arts Centre will host a range of family-friendly activities including arts and crafts, storytelling, face painting and music.
Speaking about the event, Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor John McClaughry said,
“Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is committed to providing the best quality experience for residents and visitors and it is fantastic to have free events in Omagh, like the St. Patricks Day celebrations, available for all to enjoy.
I encourage local businesses, community groups, and individuals to get involved in this year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, to showcase Omagh as a vibrant and welcoming town with a rich shared heritage. On behalf of the council, I would like to extend thanks to the Department for Communities and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive ‘Housing for All’ Shared Housing Programme for their support for the event in Omagh which promises to be an inclusive and memorable celebration of culture, talent, and community spirit.”
