Alexandria, VA – Held annually on the first Saturday in March, Alexandria’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade has grown to be the largest one-day event in Old Town. Featuring pipe bands, Irish dance schools, community groups, and a host of other musicians and performers. It is a fantastic day to spend with family or friends. For over 40 years, the Ballyshaners have been pleased to provide Alexandrians with the finest Irish celebrations. Join the festivities on March 4, 2023.
Organizers would be grateful for your donation of time or funds. You can also attend a fundraiser or volunteer. The Ballyshaners always need help with planning and staffing. “Our parades typically cost tens of thousands of dollars and require months of careful planning,” the group wrote in a press release, ” and the past two years have been difficult for our members, sponsors, and local businesses.”
Contact b[email protected] for specific volunteer opportunities or to become a group member. There is no membership fee. Monthly meetings are held at 7 pm. Dates to be determined. Weekly meetings will take place for the two months prior to the event. Dates and locations are posted on the Ballyshaners’ website and Facebook page.
