The greenest day of the year is almost upon us! This year’s St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Friday (March 17) and St. Augustine is revving up for a great time.

St. Augustinians will kick off local festivities this weekend (March 10-12) with the 7th Annual Celtic Music and Heritage Festival located on Francis Field in the historic district. Echoes of bagpipes will fill the streets on Saturday, March 11, as a tartan-clad procession marches through St. Augustine’s streets for the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Plan to arrive early; the streets along the procession fill up quickly!
