saint patricks shamrock festival navan 2008

Saint Patrick supposedly picked his first shamrock on the Hill of Tara just a few kilometres away, and today the people of Navan have a Shamrock festival to coincide with the celebration of Irelands National Holiday. There is an innovative take on the use of floats as the float parade race is on the river! The winner is awarded EUR1,000 and bragging rights that night in the pub.
