St. Patrick’s Day Parade @ The Highlands
Free, 3pm
Although the St. Patrick’s Day parade is commonly centered around drinking at all of the local bars in the Highlands, it can still be fun for teenagers! This year marks the 41st annual parade, and themed “It’s a Great Day for the Irish.” Get your spot early to receive your tootsie rolls and green beads! The high for Saturday is 63 degrees, so after the parade, you can enjoy a nice walk through the Highlands.
