The complete parade route along Atlantic Ave. will be decorated at five key points with fire department ladder trucks from multiple fire departments with their ladders extended tip to tip, hanging huge flags that the entire parade will march under. Antique fire engines as well as modern day fire engines and apparatus. Fire department honor guard teams will march carrying flags and ornate fire axes. Fire department bagpipe band members from different fire department pipe and drum bands will march and play together. Uniformed marching firefighters, Dalmation dog owners, and professional fire clowns have been invited to delight the spectators. Civilians and parade sponsors will ride their decorated floats.

A full day and evening of fun to be had by everyone and a chance to show our appreciation to those of all nationalities, that serve in the emergency services for our communities. See you at the parade, and Erin Go Bragh !!!

While you're here, don't forget to visit some of the other attractions in the Delray Beach area. We have a convenient list for you.

For forty-two years now Delray Beach has hosted Florida's largest St Patrick's Day charity parade! This year will honor the founding father of our parade, Maury Power. As legend would have it, forty-one years ago, and spending his first St. Patrick's Day in South Florida, Maury Power lamented the lack of any local celebration of St. Patrick's Day. With just a little encouragement from his pals and a bit of Irish whiskey, he took up the challenge to have an impromptu parade right then and there. Maury left for a few minutes, only to return with his top hat and shillelagh and began a solitary stroll up the middle of Atlantic Avenue (much to the delight of his drinking buddies and chuckling passersby). When questioned as to just what he thought he was doing, parading up the middle of the Avenue, his proud response was, "I'm having a Parade!" Hundreds of thousands of people have attended the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Delray over the years, and it all started by one man's decision! Thanks Maury!
