On Saturday, March 17, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. there will be magic in the air on Devine Street in Columbia, South Carolina where one of the nation’s largest St. Patrick's Day Festivals will begin its second event of the day, the St. Pat’s Chick-Fil-a Parade.
The St. Pat’s Parade will assemble at Dreher High School and travel the Musical Mile down Devine Street into Five Points offering blocks of public viewing. After entering Five Points, the parade will wind its way down Devine Street and up Saluda Avenue, returning to Harden Street at the Five Points Fountain and concluding near Food Lion.
Be sure to wear your green and get your Sham-Rock On at the Chik-fil-A St. Pat's Parade!
If you have any questions about the parade, you may call Silvia Butler at (803)776-7365 for additional information.
