Get the Party Started at The Banks
After two long years, the Cincinnati St. Patrick’s Day parade returns! Festivities begin on Thursday, March 10, with the official keg tapping of MadTree's Mac the Willis at Holy Grail.
The party continues into the weekend at The Banks.
Fishbowl at The Banks opens at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 12, before the parade begins.
Get an even early start at Moerlein Lager House, which opens on Saturday at 10 a.m. Brunch specials include shepherd’s pie and corned beef hash with poached egg. The bar is serving Irish coffee and Irish mimosas, plus Guinness on draft. Reservations can be made at www.moerleinlagerhouse.com
Galla Park serves brunch on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with entertainment all day. Plus the kitchen will be open late for all-day revelers.
The Stretch opens at noon, inviting you to grab a drink and watch the parade in the DORA district, then head back inside for green beer and your favorite Irish whiskey.
After waiting two years, a little snow isn’t going to slow down the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
On Saturday, March 12, the parade celebrate its 54th year, stepping off at 12 p.m. on Mehring Way.
What began as a small religious procession in 1967 has grown to large parade with pipers, step dancers, Irish families, marching bands, and floats. In 2001, the parade was moved to Saturday before Saint Patrick’s Day.
The parade’s honorary grand marshal is Cincinnati’s own Bob Harper, the president of Ohio’s Ancient Order of Hibernians. The AOH is the oldest Irish Catholic fraternal organization in the country, founded in 1836.
