It's almost March which means St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. Even thought last year's St. Patty's Day didn't really happen (thanks 'rona), 2021 is already bringing better news. The 3rd annual St. Patrick's Day Bash at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds is happening, and new this year is St. Patrick's Day Parade.

Is it really a St. Patrick's Day celebration if there isn't a parade? This year, there definitely will be one!

On day 2 of the 3rd annual St. Patrick's Day Bash at the fairgrounds, for the first time ever, they will be having a St. Patrick's Day parade.
