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. No complete programme is available yet, and Truro’s current council page still describes its 2026 parade rather than confirming a 2027 Lemon Quay start time.
Current status
Observance date: Friday 5 March 2027. The date of St Piran’s Day is fixed, while individual activities may take place on nearby weekends.
Programme: Provisional. Parade times and town line-ups published elsewhere are usually carried over from earlier years; confirmed 2027 details will come from each town’s organisers.
Admission: Unknown at county level. Many outdoor parades are normally free, while concerts, workshops or venue events can have their own booking terms.
Locations: Expect separate announcements for Truro, Newquay, Perranporth, Redruth and other communities. Use each organiser’s dated 2027 page before making a journey.
We’ll expand this page when official 2027 programmes publish times, routes and accessibility information.
