March 16th will see the 5th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. It’s all set to march in downtown Vancouver along Howe and Granville Street. So put your green gear or kilt on and get ready to cheer on Vancouver’s most colourful and action packed parade.
If I were you, I would plan on spending the rest of the day at the Celtic Village on Granville Street and discover Celtic treasures and hear some of the best Celtic musicians/dancers and enjoy plenty of free entertainment for the kids and adults alike.
