These festive March 17th celebrations feature elaborate floats, marching bands, bagpipers, and plenty of green everything - even cities dye their rivers green for the occasion. The best parades have Celtic dancers, local organizations, and a party atmosphere that continues in nearby pubs and restaurants. Arrive early for good viewing spots, and don't forget to wear green to avoid getting pinched.

“My first Forest Park parade was much more overwhelming and exciting than I thought it would be. Boy, do kids love to get grabby for candy, and I ran out about halfway through the route. While I had to wave, empty handed, at dozens of disappointed faces, those who got a sweet treat made my heart smile with their green garb and big smiles.”
