After the parade is over, head to the Irish American Heritage Center at 4626 North Knox Avenue for the St. Patrick’s Festival. The Festival is usually an all-day event, giving people the chance to catch all the action at the parade while still being able to attend the Irish festivities afterward.

It’s a fun-filled day of Irish Pride, Irish food, and probably a lot of green beer.
