Star Wars characters created quite a buzz My first St Patrick's Day celebration at historic Boat Quay where the parade took place. A fun-filled event where everyone wear something green!
Singapore's Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade is organised by the Irish Business Association and supported by the Embassy of Ireland along with key members of the Irish community in Singapore. The parade was a special highlight of the day, a beloved tradition upheld and celebrated by Irish people worldwide, in honour of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.
This is the 3rd year the event is held in Singapore. The Singapore Police Force marching bands and many local cultural groups participated. There were much Irish music and dancing and drinking.Weekend Snapshot members who comment can leave your link below so I can visit you. SPAM will be deleted.

Next time I'll sound you out, then we can have fun together. hehe....
looks so much fun. happy ws!
How nice that you celebrate St. Patrick's Day there. It must be a great parade. The costumes are very attractive.
Yaaam senggggg! :D
Now I have my mouth open because I am really surprised ! I would never had thought that you celebrate St. Patrick's ! In Europe it's only celebrated in Ireland maybe it was introduced to your country when it belonged to the British Communwealth.BTW do you use Google Reader, if not I wrote about it today because it's a real useful tool.
I guess Star Wars characters will always create a stir. Is there a Yoda around? Lol.
gattina,
Singaporeans don't celebrate St Patrick's Day! This parade was organised by Irish expats in Singapore and the Embassy of Ireland.
I went to watch the parade as I was invited. It was fun.
lynn,
No, there was no Yoda. :(
Wow i didn't know that it was celebrated there, i love the photos of the parade. Very interesting.
Thanks for stopping over at my blog.
Top o' the morning, they are the best looking Irishmen I have seen! How fun! Erin Go Bragh!
That looks fun, I'll be in SG again this May hopefully. I always look forward my time there.
Have a great week ahead!
