SHORTEST AND SMALLEST ST. PATTY’S DAY PARADE

844 Feet of Frolicking Fun in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward

MILWAUKEE – March 12, 2012 – Sure Milwaukee has the traditional lineup of bagpipers, dancers, bands and corned beef and cabbage this holiday, but we’ve also got a two-block march packed with all the fun you need at the 6^th Annual Shortest and Smallest St. Patty’s Day Parade.

Join in on the celebrations in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward. The parade kicks off at 3:30 p.m. on a two-block march from the Irish Pub to Club Charlies alongside a bagpiper, the award-winning McMenamin Irish dancers, Irish singer, Ian Gould, and fellow St. Patty’s Day partiers.

Celebration specials will run at both locations, but keep alert! The Blarney Stone and a leprechaun might make a magical appearance along the way in Catalano Square for visitor pictures!
