Irish Eyes Milton St. Patrick’s Day parade ready to roll
Milton Town Council unanimously approved a plan for street closures along Union Street for the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Lucky Leprechaun 5K race, set for Sunday, March 9.
This will be the 17th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade through downtown Milton, which helps raise money for local civic organizations. This year’s charities will be Milton Fire Department, Milton Chamber of Commerce and Milton Community Foundation.
In addition to council granting the street closures at its Feb. 3 meeting, Irish Eyes Community Events Coordinator Maryellen Kiernan announced this year’s parade grand marshal will be Councilman Fred Harvey.
