It is time to start planning for the second annual Muskegon St. Patrick’s Day Parade which will kickoff Saturday March 16, 2013 at 11:00am and will run from Fourth to Jefferson Streets along Clay Ave.  We hope to make The Parade one of Muskegon’s largest celebrations displaying Irish Floats, Bands, Families, Organizations, Business entries and much more!
 
The primary objective of The Parade is to celebrate the Feast Day of St. Patrick and Muskegon’s Irish Heritage.  Our secondary objective is to collect non-perishable food items for the Loaves and Fishes Organization.  Instead of charging an entry fee for The Parade, we are asking entrants to bring one non-perishable food item per participant, but we hope that you will contribute much more than one item a piece!
