St Piran’s Day falls on Friday 5 March 2027, but Cornwall does not run one county-wide event with a single programme. Town councils, cultural groups, schools, venues and community organisers publish their own parades, services and performances.
Newquay’s festival group says planning for 2027 is underway. Truro’s council has not yet published a 2027 date or Lemon Quay start time; its most recent parade ran on Thursday 5 March 2026, gathering from 12.30pm for a 1pm start.
