We have just the event for you. Also known as St. Pat’s 2010, the Atlanta St. Patrick’s Day Parade is one of the oldest St. Patrick’s Day festivals in Georgia. The parade dates back to 1858 and the 2010 celebration marks the 128th parade in Atlanta over the past 152 years.
The parade will kickoff on Saturday March 13 at noon on at the corner Peachtree Street and Ralph McGill. If you want to ensure that your little ones have a good view of the floats, music and candy, there’s a reviewing stand just down the road from the parade’s start. The Atlanta St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival will continue down Peachtree and will turn onto Decatur Street to finish in Underground Atlanta.
Coach Vince Dooley will be the Grand Marshal and Moby in the Morning will serve as the Celebrity Emcee. Other parade units will include the 501st Storm Trooper and Rebel Legions, American Royal Miss, Pipes and Drums, Budweiser Clydesdales, Coca-Cola, Drake School of Irish Dance and many many more.
