Parade and St. Paddy’s Loop a dynamic double-header
Nothing like the one-two punch of Wilmington’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade followed by the Shamrock Shuttle to take the edge off a bone-chilling winter.
The Irish Culture Club of Delaware’s 40th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, set for Saturday, March 14, gets things rolling early with a noon start on King Street in Downtown Wilmington. You can expect traditional Irish favorites such as Kelly’s Logan House and Catherine Rooney’s to be packed within minutes of the parade’s end.
Later that day, the Shamrock Shuttle/St. Paddy’s Loop continues the celebration, with cover charges at many of the venues beginning as early as 3 p.m. Complimentary Loop shuttle service begins at 7 p.m. and runs until 1 a.m.
This year’s Shuttle includes 15 city nightspots representing Trolley Square, Downtown, West End and the Riverfront. A one-time cover charge of $10 gains entry into all 15. For a list of participating venues or questions on the Loop, visit outandaboutnow.com.
