With parades cancelled for a second year, new and creative alternatives have been found.
The pandemic isn't stopping midlands communities from celebrating St. Patrick's Day this year.
With parades cancelled for a second year, new and creative alternatives have been found.
Civic offices, monuments and heritage sites will light up in green white and gold to mark the occasion.
The railway bridge in Athlone and Athlone Castle are among the amenities in the region selected to do so.
In Tullamore, the Parade Committee is keeping up the traditional Best Window Display competition.
Secretary and PRO, Sean O'Brien is hoping it'll be as competitive as ever:
If bright lights and window displays are not your thing, how about music?
The High Kings, Daniel & Majella O'Donnell and Michael English are the headline acts of a virtual concert being organised in Rathdowney.
Local acts will also feature in an event which takes place from 7pm, St. Patrick's night on rathdowneyparish.ie.
And there's lots more to look forward to across the region this week!
