On Sunday March 17th München Colmcilles took part part in the 7th annual Munich St. Patricks Day Parade. The entire 1.5 km long Leopoldstraße was lined with an estimated 15,000 spectators, enjoying the fabulous weather and the Jolly Green St Patrick himself !! München Colmcilles paraded in the "Traditional" blue and whitejerseys with some plucky souls deciding to brave the 20+ celcius heat in the full team kit including shorts and togs! Some of the scenes from the day are captured below:
