Vogue Williams has been confirmed as the 2026 Grand Marshal of the Dublin St Patrick’s Day parade. The announcement was made at an event at the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin city on Monday morning. Williams said she has been "lobbying" for the position and feels patriotic about leading the parade with family members travelling to Dublin to see her in action. “And then as I got older, my favourite memories were I had busy town halls and how busy town was and how many pubs we could get into on St Patrick's Day. The festival is set to run from Saturday, 14 March to Tuesday, 17 March, with a wide range of events scheduled to complement the National St Patrick’s Day Parade.
