And, they’re getting a head start for the March 10 event compared to last year’s three-month blitz to resurrect the South Side tradition from a two-year hiatus.
“There were a lot of up-front activities that needed to happen last year,” said Joe Connolly, the parade committee’s co-chair . “The city didn’t want it back. The alderman didn’t want it back. But, based on all the positive feedback we received, we made our intentions known that we plan to have the parade again this coming March.”
Parade organizers say they’re confident they’ll find plenty of supporters with deep pockets to help underwrite the event. They have scheduled a Halfway to the South Side Irish Parade Party from 2 to 7 p.m. Sept. 15 at 115 Bourbon Street, 3359 W. 115th St., Merrionette Park. Tickets are $30 per person and include a buffet, unlimited beer, wine or soda, and live music — sort of a party for a much bigger party.
