Annapolis Restaurant Week may be over, but that doesn’t mean downtown community-invited events halt. For starters, there’s the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Annapolis. Additionally, walking tours, art auctions, choral performances, and much more are offered.
Annapolis Entertainment
One in the afternoon on a Sunday might typically translate to a quiet, lazy afternoon but this March 9th, downtown Annapolis shakes that notion up. The 2nd Annual Annapolis St. Patrick’s Day Parade throughout downtown is scheduled, complete with live music, marching bands, and activities for the whole family. For instance, the USNA Marching Band performs lively tunes ideal for celebrating in the streets. The Chesapeake Caledonian Pipes & Drums Band and Dublin 5 perform in a classic Celtic spirit. Annapolis St. Patrick’s Day Parade’s FaceBook page, www.facebook.com/NapPadParade offers much more info.
