The 44th Annual Delray Beach St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Our Tribute to the International Fire Fighters, on March 17th, 2012 will be the grandest parade the sun drenched streets of Delray Beach have ever witnessed! The parade takes place on St. Patrick’s Day this year and we will have firefighters from 13 states and a contingent from Down Under-Australia! Hundreds of Firefighters from across the country and Canada participated last year in this grand event. The complete parade route along Atlantic Ave. will be decorated at six 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.
