Get Your Tickets Now: South Side Irish Pre-Parade Fundraiser Set for Feb. 21

South Side Irish Parade fans are encouraged to think ahead and dodge the lines, by purchasing tickets online for the Feb. 21 pre-parade fundraiser.

Parade organizers will kick off the festivities with the family friendly pre-parade bash, which will feature raffle prizes, a silent auction, the South Side Irish Parade Queen Selection and much more. The party will be held from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at 115 Bourbon Street, 3359 West 115th Street, Merrionette Park.

Tickets for the pre-parade fundraiser cost $30 and can be purchased online or at the door. Tickets include draft beer, dinner buffet and live music from the Larkin Brothers and Sean & Charlie. 2015 South Side Irish Parade merchandise and street pole banners will also be available for purchase.

“Each year the pre-parade fundraiser helps us build excitement for the parade while also raising much needed funds to produce the parade,” said Pat Coakley, co-chair of the South Side Irish Parade Committee. “The cost of operating the parade in a safe, family-friendly way has increased significantly in recent years. The pre-parade fundraiser enables us to continue honoring our community and Irish heritage,” adds Coakley.

Don’t miss the selection of the South Side Irish Parade Queen, also set for that evening.
