St. Patrick's Day Parade

Grab your green and head out for a day of luck of the Irish at Boston's world reknowned St. Patrick's Day Parade. What began in 1737 as a gesture of solidarity among the city’s new Irish immigrants still keeps Southie's streets alive, this year on Mar. 16 from 1-5 p.m. The parade starts at the Broadway T station on the Red Line and will follow its normal long route throughout the neighborhood. If you're looking to take in the parade with the masses (and there will be plenty of masses), Broadway, especially between Broadway Station and L Street, is a great place to be. Want to avoid the crowds, great options include taking in the parade from Medal of Honor Park or Thomas Park, as well as a street on the route other than Broadway.
