This was the Orihuela Costa/Cabo Roig St. Patrick's Day parade 2025 in pictures
This year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade was the biggest and most spectacular Orihuela Costa has ever seen
The luck of the Irish was certainly with Cabo Roig on Sunday March 16 as the Orihuela Costa St. Patrick's Day parade broke all records and became the biggest and most spectacular celebration in its history. After days of nothing but rain the sun shone brightly, making it a gloriously bright afternoon for the thousands of spectators who gathered to join in the fun.
With an estimated 25,000 people descending on Cabo Roig strip, the parade has cemented its place as one of the most prominent St. Patrick's Day celebrations in Spain and Europe. The event was a true reflection of the multicultural spirit of the community, with more than 40 groups from various nationalities participating in the festivities.The parade, which kicked off at 3pm on Calle Agua at the back of the strip, was led by the charismatic Grand Marshal Charlie Redmond, a former Gaelic football star and iconic figure of the Dublin team.
The streets of Cabo Roig were filled with the sounds of bagpipes, the sights of stilt walkers and the vibrant colours of floats and dancers.
The organisers of the event must be commended for their hard work and dedication, which paid off in spectacular fashion. The compliments were flowing as freely as the pints of Guinness and it's clear that the event was a huge success.
“This event represents a significant boost for Orihuela Costa, both from a tourism and economic perspective," Councillor for the Coast and Tourism, Manuel Mestre, said.
“It is another example of the diversity of cultures and countries that coexist harmoniously in Orihuela Costa, and that this Council has the responsibility to support and promote, since they are the ones who give life to this rich and diverse community, he added.
