St. Patrick’s Day is coming up! Here are our top five picks of parades across the east coast to celebrate and join in the festivities. Don’t forget to wear green!
Chicago
Our city is home to quite the St. Patrick’s Day celebration! The Chicago River goes green between Columbus and Wacker drives. Then festivities continue after as revelers parade up Columbus Dr. with floats and flags to the sound of bagpipes.
Cleveland
According to ThisIsCleveland.com, Cleveland’s St. Paddy’s Day party is among biggest in the country. The massive numbers in Greater Cleveland’s Irish community (around 13% of Cuyahoga County has Irish roots, according to the U.S. Census Bureau) and the 13,000-registrant parade makes this an event you’re sure to love.
New York
New York’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade™ begins at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral at 8:30am for folks who were able to get a ticket. From there, the parade can be seen on 5th Avenue and online (http://www.nbcnewyork.com/) between 11:00am and 5pm.
Philadelphia
Philadelphia’s Parade has been a tradition since 1771 with approximately 20,000 participants, and many more attendees.
Savannah
St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah is the most exciting time of the year in this Hostess City, with all kinds of events inviting guests to grab their green, get out and have some fun. This monumental popularity didn’t just come overnight; it took 196 years of the famous St. Patrick’s Day Parade to get Savannah on the map. And now Savannah’s St. Patrick’s Day is one of the hottest in the nations, with Savannah ranking the second largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the world, drawing more than half a million spectators.
