The City of Gaithersburg, in partnership with The Peterson Companies and rio, will host the 22nd St. Patrick’s Day Parade at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 16, 2024. The parade will meander down Grand Corner Avenue at rio, located near I-370 and Washingtonian Boulevard. Following the parade, attendees can enjoy festive live music, specials, and family fun throughout the rio lakefront. Free parking is available in three garages along Washingtonian Boulevard.
Dozens of units, including Celtic dancers, bagpipe bands, school groups, fire trucks, equestrian units, service organizations, characters, and more, will march in the parade. John Bauer, Gaithersburg Planning Commission Chair, will serve as this year’s Grand Marshal. Carolyn Muller, Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture, will emcee the parade.
The parade, celebrating Irish culture and community spirit in Gaithersburg, promises to be a lively and entertaining event for all ages.
