Green beer. Floats with pretty girls. Floats with ugly men. Floats with animals. It's time for the 37th St. Patrick's day parade, launching 11 am at Greenville and Blackwell Street and winding up at the Mint Dentistry Booth at University and Greenville. This is the largest St. Patty's day parade in the Southwest with over 125,000 spectators up and down the parade's two-mile route. There are over 90 parade floats, 1700 marchers, and all proceeds from the ticket, sponsorship and bead (throw them and collect them and wear them if new to St. Patty's Parade) sales go to GABBA – The Greenville Avenue Area Business Association. GABBA awards scholarships to students in DISD schools.
