Event Details

The 2012 Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade is a longstanding Chicago tradition celebrating all the best in Irish heritage in Downtown Chicago.

Head out to South Columbus Drive alongside Grant Park and join thousands of Chicago residents and visitors alike as this huge parade travels North. The parade starts at the intersection of Balbo Dr. and Columbus Dr. and travels north before ending at the intersection of Columbus and Monroe Drives.

The 2012 Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade is really like nothing you've ever seen before and ends right at the Chicago River which gets dyed green every St. Patrick's Day.

Wear your best green clothing, drink green beer at almost all the Downtown Chicago bars, and watch as the floats, bagpipers, marching bands, and costumed revelers parade down the streets of Chicago.
