Anyone have any ideas where I can see what towns are having parades tomorrow?

Hoping to drive from Dublin to co. Limerick, but don't want to hit any obvious bottlenecks.

Had a look at aaroadwatch.ie, so far it only mentions Dublin, Cashel & Balinasloe (which aren't on my route)
Yet this site suggests there are only events in the major cities.

What about Roscrea for example?
 
Roscrea is by-passed. The parade there is at 3pm afaik. Mountrath however have their parade starting at 12.15 and that town is always a bottleneck! Once you get passed Mountrath, it's motorway all the way.

correct on both accounts.
 
Sorry, I've just realised you're going the other way (Dub - Limerick). If you want to by-pass Mountrath, you could turn in to Abbeyleix off the Portlaoise Motorway, go in to Ballacolla and turn right for Roscrea/Borris-in-Ossory.
