The Cabo Roig St. Patrick’s Day Parade, first launched in 2011 by a small group of local businesses with the support of the Irish expatriate community, has grown from modest beginnings into one of Europe’s most celebrated St. Patrick’s Day events. What began as a local parade has since evolved into the largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in mainland Europe, attracting tens of thousands of locals, expats, and visitors who travel especially to experience the festivities. Cabo Roig, on Spain’s Costa Blanca, is best known for its stunning beaches and relaxed atmosphere, but on parade day the resort is transformed. The famous Cabo Roig strip becomes a vibrant sea of green, with bunting, banners, and Irish flags lining the streets. Facebook: St. Patrick’s Day Parade Cabo Roig
