Orihuela Costa is set to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this Sunday in Cabo Roig, marking one of the year’s major festive events. The parade will commence at fifteen hundred hours from Agua Street, featuring the participation of over forty groups from diverse nationalities, reflecting the multicultural essence of the occasion.

Charlie Redmond, a notable former Gaelic footballer and emblematic figure of the Dublin team, will serve as the Grand Marshal of the parade. Attendees can look forward to a vibrant display, which will include bagpipers, stilt walkers, floats, and dancers, promising a day of entertainment for all.

Local authorities, including the councillor for Costa, International Residents, Tourism, and Festivities, along with the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Cabo Roig association, ensure this event continues to shine light on the area’s cultural richness. The celebration has become a reference point for not only Orihuela Costa but for Spain and Europe, drawing an estimated twenty-five thousand visitors.

According to Manuel Mestre, the local councillor, this event represents a significant boost for Orihuela Costa, both for tourism and the local economy. He emphasises the importance of cultural integration, stating it showcases the diverse cultures and nations that live harmoniously in Orihuela Costa—a community vibrant in its diversity, deserving of support and promotion.
