A Louisiana tourism delegation has hosted a trade dinner in Dublin announcing that three custom floats will feature in the upcoming Dublin St Patrick’s Day Parade with every float manufactured locally in Ireland. The announcement was made during the trade dinner connecting Louisiana tourism representatives with the Irish travel trade. The initiative aims to bring the music, food and festival culture of Louisiana to the streets of Dublin.
All three deep-south-themed floats are being manufactured directly in Ireland. The initiative draws on Louisiana’s Mardi Gras traditions. The announcement served as the centrepiece for the delegation’s mission to strengthen tourism ties and travel bookings between Ireland and the US state. Updates on exact design themes and performance groups accompanying the floats are expected closer to the festival.
The Louisiana delegation connected with Irish travel trade partners at the dinner. The three floats will participate in the Dublin St Patrick’s Day Parade. The partnership highlights cultural connections between Ireland and Louisiana.
