Collaborating with Local Authorities to Deliver Large-Scale Community Events
In partnership with the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Urban Events successfully delivered the 2024 St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations in Omagh, showcasing our expertise in executing large-scale outdoor events while fostering community relations and meeting the council’s objectives.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS:
Comprehensive Event Management: Urban Events handled every aspect of the celebration, from concept to clean-up, ensuring a smooth and memorable experience for over 6,000 spectators. We facilitated crucial road closures, organised live music performances, installed staging, lighting, and sound systems, and delivered a vibrant parade that featured a mix of community groups and professional floats.
Interactive Family Activities: To make the celebration more inclusive, we introduced sensory activities and family-friendly experiences such as the mobile Exploris Aquarium touch tank, offering something new and exciting for returning attendees.
Health and Safety Expertise: With a focus on health and safety, Urban Events facilitated the safe ingress and egress of the large crowd, and installed the necessary infrastructure to support the scale of the event.
Collaboration with Local Authorities: Working closely with local councils and key stakeholders, we ensured the event met traditional expectations while adding fresh, innovative activities that strengthened the community’s connection to the celebration.
Town Centre Regeneration: By attracting thousands of visitors, the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations helped boost footfall and support town centre regeneration efforts, making Omagh a lively destination for both locals and visitors.
This case study highlights our ability to manage large-scale outdoor events with precision and creativity, while fostering community relations and delivering positive outcomes for local councils.
