A collaborative community effort has led to the production of a nostalgic and poignant video which has just been launched as a tribute to one Mayo town, its people and diaspora.
A teaser of the brilliant St Patrick’s Day video was released on social media last night and the full version has just gone live online (see below).
It has been created by the Ballina Community Clean Up Group in collaboration with the Jackie Clarke Collection and Mayo North Tourism to celebrate this year’s St. Patrick’s Day in the virtual world and was released at 3pm to mark what would traditionally be the start of the north Mayo capital’s annual St Patrick’s Day parade
The short film features footage and photography from past parades in the town and makes for poignant viewing given the year that has been and the requirement to cancel Ballina’s annual parade for the second year in a row due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
