The walking Irish flag will return for this year’s St. Patrick's Day Parade.
GREEN PARADE
130th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade set for March 14
The 130th annual Atlanta St. Patrick’s
Parade returns to the streets of Midtown
on March 14.
Started in 1858 by the Hibernian
Benevolent Society, a Catholic and
Protestant fraternal organization, the
parade is one of the oldest of its kind in
the U.S. and the longest running event in
Atlanta’s history.
This year’s parade steps off at noon
at the intersection of Peachtree and 16th
streets and continues south on Peachtree
to the intersection of 5th Street. More
than 200,000 people turned out for last
year’s parade, and parade organizers are
expecting a similar turnout this year.
More than 2,000 dancers, musicians,
cheerleaders, clowns and Irish and local
dignitaries are expected to march this
year. The parade will again feature one of
the world’s largest Irish “walking flags,” a
large flag carried — or, more accurately,
worn — by dozens of participants.
This year’s parade will also include
the Wells Fargo stagecoach and an 11:45
a.m. performance by regional Irish
dance groups to kick off the parade at
the dignitaries’ reviewing stand at the
intersection of Peachtree and 11th streets.
Another new addition: a 5K pre
parade run/walk through Midtown at 10
a.m. starting at the intersection of 12th
and Juniper streets. The top male and
female overall race winner will be invited
to ride on a special float in the parade.

registration, visit atlantastpats.com.
“The parade pays tribute to Irish
heritage and culture in a unique and fun
way,” said Dave Fitzgerald, chairman
of the Atlanta St. Patrick’s Parade, Inc.
“Throughout the years, the Irish have
helped shape Atlanta into the city it is
today, and this annual parade is a fitting
way to pay tribute to those men and
women.”

"There is a magical rapport between
residents and staff at St. Anne’s that
delights in the shared humanity
and, yes, it brings flashes oflight-
hearted humor from both."
