Birmingham's St. Patricks Parade is returning to the city in March after a four-year break due to the pandemic.
The huge celebration used to attract 80,000 people and was known as the third biggest St Patrick's Parade in the world.
It will be taking place in Digbeth on Sunday 17 March 2024, which is St Patrick's Day.
The annual event was last held in March 2019, with it being cancelled the years after due to the pandemic.
The Birmingham Irish Association announced the return during the Pairc Festival over the bank holiday weekend.
A spokesman said; "The Birmingham St. Patricks Parade is a huge calendar event which holds a special place in the hearts of many. The Birmingham Irish Association look forward to relaunching the Parade, and are thrilled that it will fall on St Patrick’s Day itself.
"We will be releasing more information as we move closer to the event which will be shared via social media and our website, but we hope many will come out and celebrate with us next year."
