The 2013 Washington DC St. Patrick's Day Parade will be held on Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 12:00 Noon, and will proceed down Constitution Avenue from 7th to 17th Streets, N.W., in our Nation’s Capital. This is the 42nd annual parade! There are several events leading up to the parade to help raise funds so please visit the parade URL to see all the details. The parade route is easily accessible from the Federal Triangle, Archives-Navy Memorial and Smithsonian metro stations. The grandstands are located between 15th and 16th streets next to the judges reviewing stand. They are a great way to watch the parade – each group is introduced as they approach and you get to see them at their best, performing for the judges. The grandstands provide a comfortable, elevated, vantage point with nearby restroom facilities.
