Things to Remember
We average around 300K-400K people attending the parade every year, so if you want to avoid the issues with traffic and parking we encourage you to arrive early. The Parade starts at 9:30 am. Close in parking places often fill up an hour before the parade starts.
The farther out you park the easier it is to find a spot, you may have to rely on public transportation to get to the parade route.
Some of the restaurants, pubs and bars have special early bird activities such as an Irish breakfast special or an activity that will give you a place to stay while waiting for the parade. Check our activity calendar and sponsor page for dates and times.
Some people arrive as early as 5 am and stake out a spot on the parade route and have their own pre-parade "tailgate" party. If you want to do this please ensure you follow local city and state regulations concerning such activities.
