Red Stick shows green pride

Saturday, don your favorite green outfit and throw your hands in the air to catch gobs of beads at the city’s annual Wearin’ of the Green St. Patrick’s Day Parade. This annual romp winds through the Garden District, spreading Irish cheer and fun throws. Rock out to bagpipes, marching bands and make sure you’re dressed appropriately—or else risk a pinch from frisky fellow parade-goers. The parade rolls at 10 a.m. Details on the route can be found at paradegroup.com.
