Saint Patrick's Day Parade
On Saturday March 14th, get ready to join us in the 48th annual Saint Patrick’s Day parade! SGK Tidewater will create a pink-themed float for the parade, which starts at 10:00am, and meanders for a mile and a half through the streets of  Norfolk. If you want to join us, and we hope that you will, the parade begins at Northside Middle School on the corner of Westmont Ave and Granby Street. On-street parking is available nearby on most of the adjacent blocks along the parade route, and there is also off-street street parking at the Sarah Constant Beach Park, Ocean View Beach Park, and Ocean View Elementary. Following the parade, there will be an after party featuring live bands, food, and refreshments, presented by the Columbian Club of Ocean View at the Knights of Columbus Lot. To volunteer to help build the float please contact Erin Kesler or arrive ready to work at 8:00am, at Northside Middle school. See you there!

investigative report. The evening will also include stories of local individuals
living with and surviving cancer as well as information on community resources. A panel discussion, including a member of the
Komen Tidewater Staff, will end the evening with engaging audience participation.
Must register for FREE Tickets.
