Where to Park for the Saint Paddy’s Day Parade

It’s no secret that Philly has a plethora of traditions when it comes to annual events, and when it comes to this upcoming weekend, the Philadelphia Flower Show won’t be the only event turning heads in downtown Philly. The 247th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade will also be making its way through Center City this Sunday!

Here’s what you need to know:

Come this Sunday, March 12 from noon through 3 p.m., a sea of green will be traveling down the new parade route from City Hall down Market Street to Penn’s Landing. Floats, marching bands, leprechauns, you name it—they’ll all be there honoring the patron saint of Ireland. To get a bigger glimpse of what to expect, check out the details here.

Don’t forget to turn your clocks back an hour for Daylight Savings Time on Sunday as well!

Now before decking yourself out in green and heading to the festivities, make sure you check out your most convenient parking options.
