Your guide to South Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade

South Boston’s annual St. Patrick’s Day and Evacuation Day Parade is back this weekend — how lucky are we?

Boston was one of the first cities to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the US, so it’s no surprise that this event — presented by the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council — typically draws ~1 million spectators.

While you prepare to say “slainte” from Southie, here’s what to know before you go:
  • The parade is on St. Patrick’s Day this year, Sunday, March 17 at 1 p.m.
  • The parade route begins at Broadway Station and ends at Andrew Square.
  • Pro tip: Take the Red Line and avoid trying to find parking on busy streets. There’s also a free shuttle running from South Station to South Boston between 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Catch the best views of the parade from one of the many restaurants along the route, or find a spot in the crowds between Broadway Station and L Street — it’s a great place to experience the energy. If you are looking for a less crowded area, check out Medal of Honor Park or Thomas Park.

Can’t make it? Take note of the traffic advisory + street closures in place. Don’t be green with envy — the festivities will be broadcast live 1-3 p.m. on NECN.
