The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is set for March 15 at 11 a.m. and runs for just over two hours!
In the morning, a traditional flag-raising ceremony at Crayton Cove will precede the parade. Immediately following the ceremony is the parade at 11 a.m. Located in downtown Naples, this parade is the largest privately-funded parade in the state of Florida. Over 40,000 people attend the parade every year to celebrate Irish heritage and Irish culture in the U.S.
The Parade will begin at the corner of 3rd Street South and 10th Avenue, then turn east onto 5th Avenue South and then south on 8th Street South and finish in front of Naples City Hall.
