The 10th annual “Blarney on the Block” St. Patrick’s Day celebration is 2pm Saturday, March 16th at Downtown Greeley’s 9th Street Plaza with the parade starting at 2:30pm. Everyone is invited to wear their green and participate in the afternoon festivities, including the four-block Ent Credit Union Blarney Parade, featuring the bagpipes and drums of The Northern Colorado Caledonia Pipe Band.

Spectators on the 9th Street Plaza will be entertained by the McTeggart Irish Dancers. We will have music by the premier Irish Pub Band, Keep Britain Irish! This will also be our signature “Go-Cup” event, so patrons can enjoy an adult beverage outside on the 9th Street Plaza during the festivities.

This is a “small-town” parade, so the community is invited to join in too! Decorate your bikes, strollers, wagons, and dress up the family. The parade route starts on 9th Ave. between 6th St. and 7th St. (east side of the DoubleTree Hotel). Be there ready to line up no later than 2:10pm. Groups and organizations must register beforehand with the DDA. The parade will travel down 8th St AND 9th St.
