St. Augustine St. Patrick Day Parade

St. Augustine St. Patrick Day Parade

Presented by Romanza at Downtown St. Augustine

St. Augustine’s St. Patrick Day Parade is the ONLY St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Northeast Florida.

The Parade is an annual celebration of St. Augustine’s Celtic heritage and the Emerald Isle’s most revered saint.  With over 800 participants and thousands of spectators, lads and lasses converge upon the Ancient City each year, donning their tartans and green attire.  Did you know that the wearin’ o’ the green was outlawed in the 18th Century England?  Seen as a form of rebellion, the wearing of shamrocks was a crime punishable by hanging.

The St. Augustine St. Patrick Day Parade follows a route throughout downtown and ends at Francis Field just as the Celtic Music & Heritage Festival begins.

Being only a five year old event, The St. Patrick Day Parade is already categorized as one of the three largest parades in the City.

Jerry Cameron is the St. Patrick Day Parade 2016 Grand Marshal
