Mayor Tim Mahoney serves as Grand Marshal
The Downtown Community Partnership (DCP) and the Cities of Fargo and Moorhead are proud to host the 23rd annual St. Patrick's Parade! This years parade will be expanded to include the city of Moorhead and continue into Downtown Fargo.
The Parade, which was in jeopardy of being cancelled, was able to carry on into its 23rd year thanks to Presenting Sponsor Jefferson Lines and Supporting Sponsor Midwest Radio of Fargo-Moorhead along with a host of other community contributors. The parade could not have gone on without the outpouring of community support!
Typically, the parade attracts more than 10,000 attendees with a festive entourage of bands, equestrians, Irish dancers, bagpipes, civic clubs and multicultural groups. A family-friendly event, this celebration unites the community and celebrates an unofficial beginning of spring
with some Irish flare. Those interested in having a float in the parade can register their float,
vehicle or walking group by visiting the event page on DowntownFargo.com .
The DCP was very pleased Mayor Mahoney accepted their offer to be the first Grand Marshal the St. Patrick’s Parade has had. Mayor Mahoney enjoys meeting residents and learning more about the issues that will affect the City's future. “I’m so excited for this event. This truly is an annual tradition and I can’t wait to showcase my Irish heritage on March 16!” Mahoney said.
Also new to the festivities this year, check out the coloring contest for kids ages 4-12. Coloring pages can be found in The Forum March 9th and 16th, at Jefferson Lines Bus Depot located Downtown (502 NP Ave) or on the Downtown Community Partnership website (downtownfargo.com). Completed coloring pages can be submitted via the Coloring Contest post on the Downtown Community partnership Facebook page. A winner from each of the 3 age groups will be awarded a $100 Downtown Fargo Gift Card and a $100 Skyzone gift card. Thank you to Puzzled Escape Rooms, Midwest Nest, Spicy Pie, and Jefferson Lines for your donations.
The DCP encourages participants, businesses, visitors and residents to celebrate by wearing green, using shamrocks and playing music to continue making this a memorable experience for area residents and visitors. After the parade, the DCP welcomes everyone to explore and discover all of the unique businesses in the Fargo-Moorhead Downtown communities.
