The Creative District is home to many events and celebrations but few match the fun of St. Patrick’s Day. The annual Wearin’ ‘O the Green Festival is in Moore Square from 10:00am to 9:00pm with lots of food, beverages, and entertainment with something for all ages. At noon the parade makes a tour of Raleigh to an estimated crowd of over 40,000.
If you missed it this year make sure you save it on your calendar for next year. As a long time attendee and participant this is one of the can’t miss events in the area.
The parade started in 1983 and has featured many notable Grand Marshall’s including Mayor Nancy McFarlane this year. Visit www.raleighstpats.org for more information on the parade and festival and information on next year’s event.
