Milwaukee's St. Patrick's Day Parade is back for another year.

Milwaukee's St. Patrick's Day Parade returns March 10

Published Feb. 7, 2012 at 5:03 p.m.

The Shamrock Club of Wisconsin will help Downtown Milwaukee ring in the 46th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade Saturday, March 10.

Wisconsin's oldest and largest St. Patrick's Day celebration, the Milwaukee parade dates back to 1843 and is the sixth oldest in the nation.

This year's parade will feature over 125 units including Irish dance groups, pipe and drum corps and local celebrities and dignitaries. The Friends of St. Patrick and the Hunger Task Force will also collect non-perishable food donations along the route during the parade.

The parade steps off at noon on Wisconsin Avenue at Old World Third Street and will wind its way through the streets of Downtown Milwaukee. This year's route has been changed due to construction on Juneau. For a map of the new route or more information about this year's parade, visit saintpatricksparade.org.
