Chewy- you better find that kilt and be in it tomorrow!!☘️

Our friend Sarah Donahue stopped in to talk about the St. Patrick’s Parade, Mass, 5K and Walk in Pittston on Saturday. Then like Chewy, Sarah is planning her wedding in May. We talked about how much $$$ your guests should be giving as gifts.

Some Frequently Asked Questions:

WHAT'S THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS?!
This Saturday, March 1
Mass: 8:30 am at Saint John the Evangelist
Leprechaun Loop 5k/1 Mile Walk: 10:30 am (registration at the Greater Pittston YMCA)
Parade: 11:30 am

WHEN DO THE ROADS CLOSE?!
All roads near the route and the bridge leading into the City will close at 10 am.

WHERE DO I PARK?!
We have a few lots that we recommend: The Greater Pittston YMCA, Saint John's Church (2), behind City Hall, Quinn's Market, Pittston Memorial Library (front and back), Upper Tomato Festival Lot.
If you're planning on enjoy the festivities at our downtown bars, we strongly recommend getting a ride from a friend/family member, or using Uber/Lyft.

WHERE SHOULD I WATCH IT FROM?!
Our Parade starts at the Turkey Hill in the south end of town. It travels north on Main Street, loops onto Kennedy Boulevard at the Coal Miner Statue, then ends around Pizza Hut. We have an emcee in the Lower Tomato Festival Lot. That area of town is busiest. If you're looking for that excitement, go there. If you have little kids and want a quieter sidewalk spot, consider going to a location at the beginning or end of the route.

WHERE'S THE PORT O POTTIES?
1. At lineup, in the Anthracite Fitness Factory Parking Lot
2. In the Lower Tomato Festival Lot

HOW LONG IS THE PARADE?!
About 80 groups. We’ve noticed that it moves slower if it’s nicer out, faster if it’s cold.

Please let us know if you have any other questions. We're so excited!!
