The organisers of the St Patrick's Day parade in Newbridge have announced that this year's parade will be used to celebrate the Irish language.
The theme of the parade is being selected due to the fact that this year is the 125th anniversary of the revival of the Irish language, known as Bliain na Gaeilge 2018.
"We would love to see some entries reflecting this," said a spokesperson.
"We will have prizes and an award ceremony for the for the best entries and also for the best shop window display. Now is the time to start preparing for the event and submitting your entries to Committee Chairman Mick Deely."
Anyone interested in entering a float on the day can contact Mick Deely via email at mickdeely@outlook.com or text 087
