The City of Sturgeon Bay is giving you a good incentive to kick off your St. Patrick’s Day festivities this Saturday. Destination Sturgeon Bay is holding its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday beginning at 11 a.m. The parade begins at Sawyer Park before traveling down Madison Avenue, crossing the Michigan Street Bridge, and heading down Third Avenue to Jefferson Street. Destination Sturgeon Bay Marketing Coordinator Alexa Soto says Saturday marks an excellent day to start a year full of parades in the city.

The parade is just part of the day of St. Patrick’s Day-themed celebrations in Sturgeon Bay. Local Irish restaurant Kitty O’Reilly will host a day of revelry for the holiday while Third Avenue PlayWorks hosts its final indoor market of the season.
