30A St Patrick's Day parade and celebration

[Lake Eastern]

There was a great segment on WMBB this morning with the guy from 30A TV and Wayne Gentry re the 2nd annual St Patrick's Day Parade and Celebration.

It's not a huge article, but it's nice to see something other than car accidents being covered.

Where are some good places to watch?

The most populated place seemed to be the BMB area last year. However there's plenty of space along the side of the road from 83 to 283.

I still don't understand why people celebrate St Patrick's Day three days before St Patrick's Day. I didn't even read this thread until today. I saw the Stinky's Fish Camp float go through Grayton yesterday, with a small sign which read, "Lake Place opening soon!" I thought that was a genius way to announce it, though my friend said it must be the St Patrick's Day parade float. Very strange that it is celebrated on the weekend rather than the St Patrick's Day. I don't do other holiday's on the weekend if the actual holiday falls on a weekday, and I am not about to start doing this one.
