Mark your calendars for the 41st Annual Greater Hartford St. Patrick's Day Parade this Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. The parade is held rain or shine.
It's always a good idea to get to the parade route early and secure your seat! The parade begins at Capitol Avenue by the State Capitol, takes a left on Main Street, a left on Asylum, a left on Ford Street, and then ends by the Memorial Arch. (Attendees should note that there will be some road closures along the parade route before the parade.) Parking is available in various lots and garages near the XL Center area and Convention Center.
Serious St. Patrick's Day party-goers can kick off the Hartford's St. Patrick's Day Parade with a bang at the Black Bear Saloon's "Beer & Breakfast Bonanza" located at 187 Allyn Street in Hartford from 7-11am. Enjoy an unlimited breakfast buffet, plus 4 Drink Tickets for Coors Light or Guiness for ONLY $20. Proceeds benefit the American Lung Association and your ticket will turn into a VIP pass to cut the entry line to Black Bear AFTER the parade. Raffles prizes & giveaways as well!
