140th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade Set for March 10th

Join the Ancient Order of Hibernians Fr. Flanagan Division (AOH Omaha) (www.aohomaha.org) for the first parade – and one of the best parades – of 2018!

The 140th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade will take place Saturday, March 10 at 10 a.m. in beautiful Downtown Omaha. The energy and excitement of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade is the perfect way to start off the spring season!

The parade will have many dignitaries, organizations, and groups representing the best of the Omaha area, including a Marine Color Guard, local police and firefighters, Miss Nebraska, Miss Douglas County, elected officials, drill teams, bands, creative floats, classic cars, and much more. Katie O’Connor, owner of O’Connor’s Irish Pub in the Old Market and a longtime supporter of AOH Omaha, will serve as grand marshal of the parade.

Immediately following the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the public is invited to the AOH Omaha Post-Parade Party at the Old Mattress Factory (501 N. 13th Street) for some good Irish cheer!

The Post-Parade Party will go from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be live Irish music from Connor Dowling, bagpipers, O’Dowd’s Irish Dance Group, corned beef, raffle prizes, and the Parade Awards Presentation. There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door. All proceeds from the Post-Parade Party will go to Irish Charities of Nebraska.
