Visalia Breakfast Lions Club invites you to join them for the fun and festivities of this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade.The parade will stroll down Main Street on Saturday, March 12 at 10am.

Downtown will be filled with folks taking in the Irish Cheer, so arrive early to stake out your spot along the parade route. The parade will begin at Church Street, head West on Main Street and then North on Willis, ending at the just north of Center Street.

The parade committee is delighted to bestow this year’s Grand Marshal Honor to, Marilynn Mitchell. We are excited to have her as our 2015 Grand Marshal. Come out and cheer for Marilynn Mitchell.

Excitement will fill Downtown Visalia with sounds of marching bands from Visalia and throughout Tulare County. There will be sirens sounding from the Visalia Police and Fire Departments as they kick-off and end the parade. Prancing horses, mascots, a variety of antique and collectable cars, as well as, floats and community groups will strut down Main Street in their St. Paddy’s Day best.
