Atlanta St. Patrick’s Day Parade

It’s the annual St Patty’s parade in the heart of Midtown Atlanta on March 14, 2020. This family-friendly event features Bagpipe & Drum Corps, local high school bands and drill teams, floats, leprechauns, you name it! The emphasis of the St. Patty’s Day parade is on children and families. The parade starts at 12 noon (rain or shine) and we highly recommend getting there early, especially if you want to watch the 5K fun run.
