The parade will step off at 1 p.m. on West Street just below Westgate Circle/Park Place, with participants lining up on Amos Garrett Boulevard. From there, it will travel down West Street to Church Circle, go clockwise around the traffic circle to Main Street, continue down Main Street, and end at City Dock. 

“Each year, these events bring Annapolis together to celebrate the spirit and joy of St. Patrick’s Day,” said Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley. “It’s our City's largest parade and a time when we all wear a little extra green and a lot of pride. We hope to see you there!'”

The 12th annual St. Patrick’s parade is produced by Naptown Events, which will sponsor free shuttles from Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium to Westgate Circle (for parade participants and watchers) and then to City Dock for those attending Shamrock the Dock. Parking at the stadium is $20 per vehicle.
