"Why don’t we have a parade to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?"
Those few words were spoken on a Saturday afternoon in March, 1967 when several Brother Knights of Father Kealey Council 3548 were sitting at the bar of their one-room, cinder block home on Government Avenue in Norfolk, VA. The words, repeatedly spoken launched one of Norfolk’s most enduring traditions and what we know now as the “Saint Patrick’s Day Parade”.
Join Us for the 43rd Annual Saint Patrick’s Day Parade
The Parade steps off at 10:00am on March 13, 2010. Don't miss the After Parade Party, presented by the Columbian Club of Ocean View starting at noon at the Knights of Columbus Lot featuring live bands:

and Hot Cakes. Plenty of food and refreshments will be available as well.
