On Saturday, March 13, 2021, the City of Dublin will proudly present the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. For the health and safety of all involved, the 2021 Greenest Grandest Parade will be a reverse parade held at Darree Fields Park from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

A reverse parade is a creative way to hold a physically distanced celebration. In a reverse parade, the parade participants are stationary. Rather than large groups of spectators gathering along Frantz Road, Bridge Street, and High Street, they will drive through the parade at Darree Fields Park and remain safely in their vehicles. The parade will celebrate Irish spirit with bagpipers, Irish dancers, floats, helium balloons and other creative performances in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.

Jill Kranstuber was selected to serve as the 2020 Grand Leprechaun, but since last year’s parade did not take place in response to the coronavirus pandemic, she will serve as the 2021 Grand Leprechaun of this unique reverse parade.
