Where to Watch the Parade

Family-Friendly Fun

There are many places to watch along the Parade route! If you’re looking for a family-friendly environment, we’d recommend outside of the The Avenue (275 W Wisconsin Ave.). There is $3 parking nearby at The Avenue structure (entrances at 615 N Plankinton Ave. & 258 W Michigan St.) thanks to Interstate Parking, and after you can head inside to grab lunch at the 3rd St. Market Hall, play games.  

Another great family spot would be near the review stand by the Milwaukee County Historical Society (910 N MLK Drive) where all eight of Milwaukee’s Irish dance school and other entertainers will stop to perform. 

Festive Celebrations

For those looking for a more festive environment, you can’t go wrong with Mo’s Irish Pub (142 W Wisconsin Ave.). Doors open at 8 a.m. for Kegs & Eggs and entertainment is scheduled all night long after the Parade. Be sure to head there early to get a spot!

We’d also recommend watching the at bars and restaurants on Water Street and in the Old World Third Street Entertainment District, many of which are sponsors of the event.
