Delray Beach St. Patricks Day Parade and Festival

St. Patrick’s Day Festival 2018

Although the parade starts at 2 p.m., Parade spectators start lining up along the parade route by 10:00 – 10:30 a.m. Many people bring folding chairs to use along the sidewalks to make the parade waiting/watching time more comfortable. Keep in mind, you can not sit on Atlantic Avenue street – as this area must be clear for vehicles and floats. The parade has become so popular, that it’s been extended 5 blocks West of Swinton Ave. to West 5th Ave. This is a prime spot to set up and watch the parade.

Please use the downtown bypass routes (1st Street – North and South of Atlantic) to stay off Atlantic Ave. before, during, and after the parade. For those using Uber / Lyft transportation service, to and from the Parade and Festival, use the numeric address of 51 North Swinton Ave. Delray Beach, 33444
