The 1848 Tricolour Celebration marks the conception and unveiling of the Irish Tricolour Flag by Thomas Francis Meagher in 1848 at 33 The Mall, Waterford City.

The programme of events gives Irish people everywhere a platform to celebrate lasting peace on this island, captured beautifully in the colours of ‘An Bhratach Náisinta,’ our national flag.

This year we are delighted to welcome Governor of Montana, Gov. Brian Schweitzer, to Waterford as our Guest of Honour. Join us on the Mall on March 11th at 12.30pm for this very poignant event.
