The purpose of the St. Patrick's Day Parade is to celebrate the freedom to be Irish - to enjoy the holiday to its fullest. The revelry lasts from the week before until the week after. Some parties are fund raisers that help to defray the tremendous costs of putting the parade on the street.
This page will keep you informed of all the details of those good times as well as Parade Committee Meetings. This page as well as all the St. P. Parade pages will be updated often so check back from time to time.
Some of the Irish pubs in town will hold special Parade Benefit nights featuring rare evenings of entertainment, give-a-ways, drink specials and raffles. Those dates and places will be posted here as the details become available.
