WATCH: St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Sioux Falls

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – Winter weather won’t stop the Irish celebrations in Sioux Falls Saturday. 

Preparing for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations

If you can’t make it downtown to watch the 45th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, you can watch the action live in the video player attached above. The parade starts at 2 p.m. and KELOLAND Media Group will have a camera at the State Theatre following the parade along Phillips Avenue. 

According to Downtown Sioux Falls, the parade runs on Phillips Avenue from 13th Street to 5th Street. All streets adjacent to the parade route will close at 1:30 p.m. and the painting of the shamrock will happen at 11 a.m. on Phillips Avenue between 9th and 10th Street in front of First National Bank. 

You can find the latest details on the parade on the group’s Facebook page. 

Shawn Cleary, who joined the St. Patrick’s Day Extravaganza Committee 16 years ago, will serve as grand marshal. 

“We’ve marched in everything over the years: rain, sleet, snow, 70 degrees, t-shirts, so we’re hardy people. We’ll figure it out,” Cleary told KELOLAND News earlier this week.
