Mo Chairde (Friends),
Cead Mile Failte! (100,000 welcomes)! The 2009 Charlotte St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Charlotte Goes Green Festival invites our sponsors, our vendors, and you to participate in the Thirteenth Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Charlotte Goes Green Festival, which will take place on Saturday, March 14, 2009.
Over 40,000 spectators watched Charlotte’s Twelfth Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade as it marched through the heart of Charlotte to the sound of pipes and the cheers of the spectators lining the streets. The combination of flags, floats, kids, and pipe band music made everyone smile and be Irish for a day. The Thirteenth Annual Parade will be even bigger and better!
