Where to Watch the Parade
Where to Watch the Parade
There are many places to watch along the Parade route! If you’re looking for a family-friendly environment, we’d recommend outside of the The Avenue (275 W Wisconsin Ave.). There is $3 parking nearby at The Avenue structure (entrances at 615 N Plankinton Ave. & 258 W Michigan St.) thanks to Interstate Parking, and after you can head inside to grab lunch at the 3rd St. Market Hall, play games and see a performance by Irish duo, Frogwater.
Another great family spot would be near the review stand by the Milwaukee County Historical Society (910 N MLK Drive) where all eight of Milwaukee’s Irish dance school and other entertainers will stop to perform.
For those looking for a more festive environment, you can’t go wrong with Mo’s Irish Pub (142 W Wisconsin Ave.). Doors open at 8 a.m. for Kegs & Eggs and entertainment is scheduled all night long after the Parade. Be sure to head there early to get a spot!
We’d also recommend watching the at bars and restaurants on Water Street and in the Old World Third Street Entertainment District, many of which are sponsors of the event.
