THE streets of Britain’s smallest city will be awash with colour on Saturday (February 27) as people flock to St Davids to celebrate Oriel y Parc’s annual Dragon Parade.
More than 150 Pembrokeshire school children and residential care group members will proudly display their homemade dragons as they march through the city accompanied by the 948 Squadron Air Corps Training Band.
Oriel y Parc manager Jenn Jones said: “The Dragon Parade has become an important part of the St David’s Day celebrations and continues to inspire children and adults from all over Pembrokeshire to celebrate Wales’ patron saint.
“We’re also running a children’s fancy dress competition and have dragon-themed events throughout the day to keep everyone entertained.”
The Dragon Parade will leave the Oriel y Parc courtyard at 11am and head to the High Street before travelling around the Cross Square and back again.
The fancy dress competition will be judged in two categories: children under seven years old and children seven to 11 years old. There are cash prizes on offer for first and second place in each category, which will be judged before the parade.
The dragon-themed games will be free for all to try and there will also be a chance to see the range of free exhibitions on display at Oriel y Parc.
