Kia commissions pageants for Patrick's Festival Parade


Kia Ireland has commissioned three pageant elements for this year's St Patrick's Festival Parade in Dublin, under the title 'A Future That Moves Us', writes Brian Byrne.

The pageant will be a total of 100 metres long within the Parade, exploring the balance between nature and humans and highlighting Creativity, Nature, and Oceans — that last a reflection of Kia's global support for the Ocean Clean-up project. The pageant is being built by BuĂ­ Bolg Youth Arts based in Wexford.

A fleet of electrified Kia vehicles will be provided to assist the various celebrations of the Festival from March 16–19. This will include a vehicle display area at the Festival Quarter in Collins Barracks, National Museum of Decorative Arts.
