Best Sports Organisation
An invaluable part of Ardee for 50 years, honored for their continued dedication and parade participation.
Best Community Organisation
Led by Eoghan McCabe, this initiative has been vital in supporting Ardee Hospice Homecare and Special Olympics.
Best School

Grand Marshal Award

This celebration comes during a busy period for Mid-Louth, following the recent €5.3m schoolbook funding announcement and the launch of the Dunleer Garden Care scheme. It is a testament to the thriving community spirit that makes Ardee such a special place to live.
