15TH ANNUAL BUFFALO 2008
“OLD NEIGHBORHOOD” ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE

The Valley Community Association’s 15th Annual “Old Neighborhood” St. Patrick’s Day Parade is scheduled for Saturday, March 15th, 2008. The parade will kick-off at 12 Noon from the Valley Community Center, located near the junction of South Park Avenue and Elk Street. The “other” parade, which retraces the original 1913 parade route, winds through the historic streets of the Valley and Old First Ward neighborhoods.

Viewing of the parade will be along South Park Avenue, Smith Street, Elk Street, Hamburg Street, and O’Connell Avenue. This year is looking to be the biggest parade yet, topping last year’s count of 60 contingents. There will be something for everyone – Irish dancers, marching bands, floats, clowns, classic cars, local radio stations, local police and fire department vehicles, local unions, dignitaries, family clans, and more.

Following the parade there will be a grand Irish “Hooley” at the Valley Center that will feature both inside and outside bars, live Irish music by “Blackthorn”, Irish dancers, and plenty of food and refreshments.

The parade will be held on right on St. Patrick’s Day this year - Saturday, March 15th, 2008 - and will kick off at 12 Noon from the Valley Community Center. Over 60 marching units participate including marching bands, clowns, classic cars, Irish dancers, family clans, fire and police departments, and much more!! New groups are welcome to join in as well and registration forms for all marching contingents will be available after January 1st by calling 823-4707 ext. 4. Immediately following the parade is the traditional grand Irish “Hooley” featuring live music by “Eire Road” and entertainment as well as plenty of food and drink. The “Hooley” runs from 1pm-6pm at the Valley Community Center.
