Head downtown today for the York Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. The day starts early with specials at Central Market and the Market and Penn Street Farmers Market, not to mention dance performances and special activities for the kids.
A full list of pre-parade events can be found at the York Saint Patrick’s Day Parade website.
The parade kicks off at 1 p.m. along Market Street. Catch all the details plus a video with Mary Yeaple, a member of the Parade Board of Directors.
If you’d rather avoid the traffic and the crowds, take it easy today and prepare for an outdoor hike tomorrow. Join Richard M. Nixon County Park Naturalist Amber Carothers for “Signs of Spring” from 2:30 to 4 p.m. Sunday. Follow along on a stroll along the stream and ponds to search for signs of spring’s arrival.
There is no fee and no registration necessary for this program. Visit yorkcountyparks.org or call 717-428-1961 for details.
