St. Patrick’s Day is next week, but the celebrations start Saturday!


Are you planning on attending this year? I stopped going a couple years ago because Caden was just a baby, but now he’s 5 and I think it’s time to take him. This year seems like the perfect year too.

Albany’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade just got a little bigger. This year, the parade will include a new family-friendly festival. The Irish American Family Festival will feature live Irish music and step-dancing from noon until 5:30 p.m. in Academy Park.
