Florissant to Host 1^st Annual

St. Patrick’s Day Parade & 5-K Run

Mayor Tim Lowery has announce that the recently formed Florissant Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee will host the 1st annual Florissant St. Patrick’s Parade, Festival & 5K Run on Sunday, March 13.

The 5K run will start at 9:00 a.m. which will begin at the Duchesne Home Association (formerly the Knights of Columbus Grounds) located at 50 rue St. Francois.

The St. Patrick’s Day Parade will start at 12 noon beginning at Bangert Park located at 275 S. New Florissant Road and end at the Duchesne Home Association Grounds (at the entrance on rue St. Francois). This year’s Parade Marshal will be Carole Lowery. The festival will start at 11 a.m. and end at 6 p.m. and will be held at the Duchesne Home Association Grounds.

Mayor Lowery added, “I really appreciate the hard work and commitment the committee members have done in getting everything planned and organized. We are proud to partner with the Florissant St. Patrick’s Day Committee. Everyone is looking forward to another great event in our city.”

Councilman Patrick Mulcahy, one of the organizers and vice-president of the non-profit committee, for years “thought why doesn’t the city should have St. Patrick’s Day Parade? So they formed the “Society for the St. Patrick’s Parade – Florissant, MO” Then recruited a group of dedicated and talented Florissant residents. They have been meeting for almost two years now to make this happen. “We are so excited we are almost to the big day. And yes this is the 1st annual of hopefully many more years to come,” said Mulcahy

Florissant is a city of festivals including the Hispanic Festival, Valley of Flowers & Fall Festival, and most recently the Polish Festival to name a few of the largest festials. Building on that rich tradition they formed a non for profit entitled “Society for St. Patrick’s Day Parade Florissant MO”.

The goal is to have another great event where everyone in the community can gather as one and enjoy everything that Florissant has to offer. For more information on all the events that are planned for that day visit www.florissantstpatricksparade.com.
