For 49 years, the Cincinnati St. Patrick’s Parade has traversed downtown — rain, shine or snow — to celebrate the city’s rich Irish heritage. The parade steps off from Eggleston and Reedy at noon and follows a route down Central Parkway, Sycamore Street, Fifth Street and ends at Sentinel. Expect themed floats, lots of leprechaun ephemera, shamrocks, bagpipes, large statues of St. Patrick and honorary Grand Marshall, former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Jim O’Toole.
Noon Saturday. Free. Eggleston and Reedy, Downtown, cincystpatsparade.com.
