The Big Easy Celebrates the Luck of the Irish

March 02

Mardi Gras may be over, but here in New Orleans, the party never truly stops. If you’re in the mood for another outstanding parade or two, you must check out the St. Patrick's Day festivities all across the Big Easy.

On Saturday, March 14, indulge in live music, beer, and delicious bites at Parasol’s Block Party (located at 3^rd and Constance, 10 A.M – 8 P.M.) or Tracy’s Block Party (2604 Magazine St, 11 A.M. till the last partier decides to leave). For parades, choose from the Irish Channel Parade, which steps off from Napoleon Ave and Tchoupitoulas at 1:30 P.M. or the Italian-American St. Joseph’s Parade, which steps off from Convention Center Blvd and Girod St at 6 P.M. The next day, Sunday, March 15, you can catch the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Metairie Road, which starts at noon in front of Rummel High School. Finally, on St. Patrick’s Day itself, Tuesday, March 17, head over to the Irish Channel Block Party at Annunciation Square starting at 1 P.M. for dance, drink, food, and live musical entertainment. Later, at 6 P.M. the annual Downtown Irish Club Parade kicks off at the corner of Burgundy and Piety, then winds its way over to Bourbon St in the famed French Quarter.
