As someone who's been involved in this parade since I was a wee lass, I'm thrilled to bring this joyous event to the next generation. We'll kick off the parade at 10:30 a.m. on Fifth Avenue at Laurel Street, with the festival grounds opening at 9:00 a.m.
Expect a day packed with live entertainment, an expanded kids' area, and craic for the whole family until 6:00 p.m. So grab your green, bring your loved ones, and join us for this fantastic celebration of Irish culture and business.
