Happy Saint Patrick's Day! 3/17

Enjoy the Irish Channel Parade on 3/14!

Wear as much green as your wardrobe will allow, and enjoy this lively parade where floats are accompanied by bands, music, and marching clubs. But what’s a parade in New Orleans without throws? Call out “throw me something mistah!” and be prepared to catch anything from beads to potatoes, carrots, moonpies...and the biggie....cabbages! And again, it being New Orleans, be on the lookout for underwear to be thrown! You’re certain to have a great time! Sláinte!
