A note from John Hennessy, President of the 2008 Sydney St Patrick’s Day Parade & Family DayThe 2008 Sydney St Patrick’s Day Parade & Family Day was a wonderful success thanks to the many people who contributed and participated in planning for the event. Record crowds lined the streets of Sydney in the beautiful sunshine to watch the Parade, lead by our nominated St Patrick John Ingrham. The festivities continued in Hyde Park at the Family Day, the crowds enjoyed live music, dancing and plenty of activities which thrilled younger members of the crowd with story telling, bouncy castles and much more. The citizenship ceremony took place in Hyde Park in the early afternoon where 38 very proud people became Australian citizens and then enjoyed a live performance by Australian Idol winner Damien Leith. In all over 75,000 people enjoyed helping us celebrate St Patrick’s Day in Sydney. Congratulations to Donegal who won the ‘Best Float’ competition, Penrith Gaels who won First Runner Up and Wexford who won Second Runner Up, you all put in a wonderful effort and your hard work certainly paid off. Also congratulations to United Irish Ex-Services Association of Australia who won Best Marching Band. Thank you for your support and donations throughout the year.
