We must all have the luck of the Irish, since we can have the parade on the actual Saturday of St. Patrick’s Day. Stake out your spot along Greenville Avenue early, and prepare to be entertained. Just also come prepared with water, so you don’t get dehydrated roaming around. The annual parade, which was rescued financially by St. Cuban the Maverick, will kick off at 11 a.m., but the St. Paddy’s Day Dash Down Greenville 5k will begin at 8 a.m. For registration information and further details regarding running, visit runproject.org/dash-down-greenville-5k.
