Are you ready for a bit of the “wearing of the green?”
This Saturday, March 5, marks the 30th Annual ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE in Alexandria, VA.
Sponsored by the “Ballyshaners”, which means Old Towners in Gaelic, the parade will feature marching bands, Republicans, Democrats, Irish Wolfhounds, Irish Setters, Irish Terriers, Irish Whiskey (oops!) and the all important KENA Shriners – you know, those large men in the small cars.
The line up of festivities looks something like this:
- 10:00 a.m. – Invitational Classic Car Show. North Pitt Street between King & Cameron
- 10:30 a.m. – Fun Dog Show. Market Square
- 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Parade from West & King Streets to Fairfax and King Streets in Old Town
You’re not Irish? Not to worry, you will be on Saturday!
Erin go bragh,
