34th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival
The cornerstone of the celebration, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at 9 a.m., is a spectacle of creativity and camaraderie.

Following the parade, Main Street transforms into a festival ground from 11 a.m.-4 p.m where the air is filled with the melodies of Irish pipe bands, the rhythmic steps of Irish dancers, and the lively tunes of local bands. Flynn’s Irish Tavern, a beloved local pub, sponsors the Irish Stage, ensuring the authenticity of the celebration and a pint of Guinness is never too far away. More Info
