The World’s Only Best Maid St. Paddy’s Pickle Parade and Palooza will show that it is easy being green, Irish and pickled!
The parade will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, Mansfield’s pickle industry and fun. Entries will be quirky, entertaining and green, while remaining family friendly. There will be Wheelie-ing Elvi, a peck of Pickle Queens escorted by the Pickle Protectors, an honorary St. Patrick and much more.
The parade will roll through downtown Mansfield at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 16, preceded by the Pickle 10K, 5K and 1 mile runs, children’s activities, food and vendor booths in downtown Mansfield.
After the parade rolls through, the street party begins in downtown. There will be pickle eating and pickle juice drinking contests, dancing Pickle Queens, a children’s area, food court, and three great live bands. The Trinity River Whalers will go on stage around 3:00 to 3:15, the Party Crashers at 6:00 and the live stage music will finish up with Me and My Monkey around 8:00 to 8:30.
How can you be part of the fun? Be a sponsor, wear some green and march down Main Street with a spring in your step and a smile in your heart!
