Main & 6th Streets,

Downtown Racine

The fourth annual St. Patrick’s Day parade will be held on Saturday, March 13 in Downtown Racine. The Parade will kick off from the corner of State and Main Streets at 12 noon and will head south on Main Street to 6th Street and then west on 6th Street to City Hall.

Parade applications are available at the Downtown Racine Corporation, 425 Main Street or you can download a parade application here. Applications should be completed and returned to the DRC Office by February 19. There is no cost to be in the parade.

Downtown's St. Patrick’s Day parade features Irish and Celtic music, troubadours, leprechauns, pipe band music, floats, Irish dancers, Irish wolfhounds and much more.  Thousands of people of all ages march to Downtown Racine to watch the parade and enjoy the festivities.  Local organizations, businesses and clubs are encouraged to be part of the activities. 

In order to bring the parade to Downtown Racine each year, the DRC partners with local businesses and individuals for support of this event. We are asking for your help again this year.  Your donation will help us advertise and market the event as well as help provide security, street closures and more.  All donations of $500 or more will buy a shamrock with your logo on our poster, on the DRC website and in marketing materials.  To ensure that your logo is included, we will need your sponsorship commitment by February 8.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day….the Downtown Racine Way!

May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow,
and may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
