If you live in Alabama and enjoy community events that give something back to locals, you’ll love the premise behind the Birmingham St. Patrick’s Day Parade, scheduled for this March 12nd, 2011.
This one-day Irish festival is designed to raise money to stop or help prevent child abuse in the community, through education and treatment for survivors.
Tickets to this worthwhile and fun event are 15 dollars at the gate, but you can attend for ten dollars a person if you purchase your tickets in advance. You’ll be pleased to know that any children 12 and under will be granted free admission to the parade.
Gaelic good times are guaranteed when you participate in this joyous event – marching bands, Irish dancers, and a full complement of Irish-inspired sights and sounds will make this Irish festival unforgettable. For more information, please visit the Birmingham St. Patrick’s Day Parade website.
