The Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day Parade will return to Minneapolis for the first time since the pandemic
The Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day Parade is back in Minneapolis. The parade, now in its 57th year, has spent the last four years in Columbia Heights, where it moved during the pandemic. Now, it'll return to Nicollet Mall on March 17. The parade detoured to the north Minneapolis suburb in 2020, where it was easier to host a drive-through parade. It stuck around for a few years after getting support from the community and local businesses. Now, the parade is working with members of the Minneapolis Fire Department who wanted to see the event return to Minneapolis, board member Mike McDonald tells Bring Me The News. With support from Minneapolis businesses, it will make its return to its namesake city. The parade, held March 17 at 6 p.m., will run along Nicollet Mall from 6th Street to 12th Street. After the parade, a party will be held in the Club Room of Brit's Pub.

St. Patrick's Day parade returns to Minneapolis after 5-year hiatus
The Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day Parade is returning to Nicollet Mall after a stint in Columbia Heights. Why it matters: "It is the Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day Parade," longtime organizer Judy Clerkin told Axios. Catch up quick: Clerkin and her husband, Sean, moved the parade to Columbia Heights in 2021 because it was better suited for a drive-thru setup due to COVID restrictions. It stayed there the following years because it got sponsorship support from local businesses. The latest: Minneapolis officials and businesses have stepped up to support a return, Clerkin said. Organizers are working with a couple sponsors to help offset the costs. "It was wonderful for the city to notice that we were gone and wanted us back," she said. Details: The parade begins at 6pm on Monday, March 17 at 6th and Nicollet and ends at 12th and Nicollet.
