St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner (cue the bagpipe). If Savannah is too booked or Chicago is too far away, we have you covered with plenty of local events happening on March 17. Just look at it as our pot of gold to you. 🌈💰

If you’re here for the party...

St. Patty’s Day Parade + Irish Festival | NOMA Square

The festival begins at 1:30 in NOMA Square and the parade’s at 2 p.m., heading up Main St to reach the party. Spectators will get the full Irish treatment: bagpipes, horse drawn carriages + floats. Definitely get there early for parking + a great view.

Update: The parade’s been canceled due to rain. ☹️ 🌧

If you + the little ones are feeling active...
