All About the St. Patrick's Parade and Block Party with Milo Butterfingers' Tommy Donahue07 Mar 202300:39:42

Did you know the parade is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit?  We didn't realize that either! Also, what does Mark Cuban have to do with the parade? Find out by listening.  

The merchants on and around Greenville Ave. came together and formed the Greenville Avenue Area Business Association (G.A.A.B.A.) to help unify the businesses and promote the Greenville Avenue area. Its first objective is and always will be the presentation of the Annual Greenville Ave. St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

This parade is considered a Dallas tradition and is the largest St. Patrick’s Parade in the South. 

Witnessing the Dallas St. Patrick’s Parade & Festival (formerly knows as the “Greenville Ave St. Patrick’s Parade) puts you in a quasi fraternity of sorts. It’s a little like going to Mardi Gras and then again not so much. This occasion is truly unique. The parade has become the signature event of the St. Patrick’s celebration for our fair city. Many Dallasites have attended and bared witness to the evolution of this neighborhood parade from about ten pickup trucks and a couple of flatbeds to the largest St. Patrick’s parade in the Southwest.

In 2012, founder Ava Skipworth left a 20 year career to create a company that could stand out, do things differently and enrich her community. Growing up, Ava had some obstacles. Needless to say, we can all learn a little from Ava.

There is a “monster cave”, a free, clean play area for the kids and added comfy seating for parents. This area is tucked away, but viewable by large windows, providing a safe place for families, while allowing a quieter kid free zone for those without children.
