St. Patrick’s Parade marches through downtown St. Louis today

ST. LOUIS – The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is taking place today in downtown St. Louis. An estimated 250,000 people are expected to fill the streets.

This will be the 54th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The festivities kick off with the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade Run.

It’s a tradition that welcomes more than 5,000 runners on a 5-mile downtown route. The run begins at 9:00 a.m. The parade begins at 12pm on the 20th and Market and then travels east on the Market to its conclusion at Broadway and Clark.

With this year’s run, you can donate a portion of your entry fee to four local charities: The Backstoppers, Inc., St. Patrick’s Center, Kids Rock Cancer, and Atlas Public Schools.

In 2020, the organizers had to switch to a virtual run at the last minute because of the pandemic. In 2021, they were able to host a live 5K run with 500 people along with a virtual 5 mile run and a 43 mile challenge.
