The first parades date back to the 1880's when the parade started in "Irish Town" by old St. Patrick's Church. Flags, bands and marchers would march to Market Square for a day of fun, games, music, food and drink. The people spilled in and out of the various pubs in Market Square. In 1960, radio personalities, Tim Nolan and Bob Bryant announced a St. Patrick's Day Parade.‍ ‍ Seating for the Concert is provided on a first come first serve basis. Make sure to come early and grab some food/drinks at our Food Hall with local and international cuisine. We'll have bars serving tasty beverages at the concert as well! See you there.
