St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Tent Party

The Parade is made up of Irish themed floats and helium balloons, school marching bands, pipe and drum bands, Irish dancers, catholic schools, Irish organizations and local companies and non-profits with St. Patrick’s Day themes. We are always looking for Parade units that have entertainment value, use a St. Patrick’s theme and show originality & creativity. Acceptance and participation in the Parade is strictly subject to the discretion of the Parade Committee who reserves the right to reject any application for any reason. The Parade is limited in the number of units.
