The festival will have food trucks, beer, corned beef and cabbage being served by the Knights of Columbus. Special thanks to Patrick Mulcahy for providing much of this information.<\/p>\n<p>The parade will start at noon from Bangert Park, travel\u00a0 along New Florisssant Road to rue St. Francois\u00a0 and conclude at the Duchesne Home Association\u00a0 grounds near St. Ferdinand Shrine.
