It's your annual chance to reconnect with your Irish Roots at our 43rd Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival. This year's theme, "Celebrating Irish Business," promises a day filled with excitement and Irish entrepreneurial spirit. 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.
