It's back for 2025! And SPRING is right around the corner.

For the 69th time, the Bay City's annual Saint Patricks Day Parade welcomes Spring to Michigan.

MyBayCity.com is in "doze mode", but for THIS EVENT, we thought it was time to make a surprise appearance.

We write this primarily to give our visitors and readers a place to link to the articles we've posted from 2002 to 2019. That's 17 years of pictures, comments, and memories. The links follow.

It's still a few days until the 2025 annual event scheduled for March 16, 2025 @ 2PM. Right now we're contemplated getting out camera out, charge up the batteries, and go take a batch of pictures. Take a look after the parade and see if we made it.

For the latest OFFICIAL information, visit the St. Pat Association public web site at: https://www.stpatparadebaycity.org/.



Just for the fun of it, you might want to check out these St. Pat's stories from previous years. It's interesting just to see how digital cameras have evolved since 2002:
For another take on the subject of parades, check out what was going on in 1978 in this 1978 Flashback article from the archives of the Bay County Sports Page & Bay City Enterprise newspapers. Published from 1976 through 1984, those papers were the "grandparents" of today's MyBayCity.com.
