On March 11th, 2007, the Second Singapore St Patrick's Day Parade and the first ever in SE Asia, took place along an expanded route on Boat Quay. The 2007 Parade was generously sponsored by Guinness and Asia Pacific Breweries. The Parade began at 3.30 pm, with participants and groups arriving between 2pm and 3pm.
Route : Mustering next to the New Parliament House, with its head at Q Bar, the route took the marchers past the Raffles Statue, in front of the Asian Civilisations Museum, across Cavenagh Bridge, passing the Fullerton Hotel on the left, and then turning down Battery Road to enter UOB Plaza from the street, up its traffic ramp. The marchers spread out over UOB Plaza, and the Promenade, while several bands accompanied the event.
