Come Rain or Come Shine
Our parade is a family oriented event designed for everyone's enjoyment and participation. Spectators, in excess of 20,000 people, are always delighted with the antics of clowns, marching bands, entertaining Shiners, beautiful floats, and all the marching units and dignitaries.
Our parade has been recognized as one of the Top 20 Tourism Events in the Southeast for the month of March. This is a wonderful honor and our community is very proud.
To be a part of our parade, gather your group, and enter a float, either one of your own making or a commercial float from our supplier. All floats compete for five different awards.
All vehicles entered in the parade MUST be decorated in an Irish theme. It is necessary to limit the vehicle participation to two vehicles per business.
We reserve the right to reject entries that may be considered unsafe, harmful or potentially offensive to our spectators.
Entries may not be politically oriented. No campaigning is permitted. Violators will not be allowed to enter the parade route and are subject to a $1,000 fine and entries fees will not be returned.
We will set up at the municipal Beach Parking Lot on Pope Ave. The Parade will step off onto Pope Ave at the former Smokehouse/temporary Fire Station entrance. It will continue along Pope Ave., make a left on to the Office Park Rd. and end at Park Plaza.
