The 7th Annual 30A St. Patrick’s Parade and Festival is set to roll out on Saturday, March 15, 2014. The parade is the largest celebration in Northwest Florida of Ireland’s St. Patrick’s Day. You can expect over 50 floats and parade entries, in all shapes and sizes. Parade lineup begins at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, March 15 at Grayton Beach and Blue Mountain beach on Scenic 30a. The parade will then head four miles west, ending at Gulf Place, where the festivities continue.
Festivalgoers will enjoy a wide array of arts and crafts, including jewelry, wood carving, and face painting. A variety of food and drinks will be available and commemorative t-shirts can be purchased.
Nationally recognized, Texas based Celtic Rock Band, Cleghorn, will headline the entertainment along with the Drake School of Irish Dance. Cleghorn is a Texas-based Celtic Rock band. They combine stadium rock with blues and folk influences laced with a strong Celtic brew. If you mixed ZZ Top with The Hobbit soundtrack, it might sound something like Cleghorn. Their music mixes original folk and rock songwriting with high-energy Celtic fiddle and bagpipe tunes. Their sound is based on traditional Celtic fiddle tunes, but they rock harder and play wilder shows with a fiddle and didgeridoo than most guitar-trashing contemporaries.
