Brooklyn will continue to celebrate both St. Patrick and Irish culture in big ways this Sunday and the next with parades in Park Slope and Bay Ridge.

The 29th annual Brooklyn Irish American Parade will step off Sunday, March 21, at 1 pm, from 15th Street and Prospect Park West in Park Slope.

The Park Slope parade will proceed along 15th Street to Seventh Avenue, then up the avenue to Union Street, across Union Street to Prospect Park West and then back to 15th Street.

Then, on Sunday, March 28, the 11th annual Bay Ridge parade starts at 1 pm, in front of St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church at 95th Street and Fourth Avenue. A 9:30 am Mass at St. Patrick’s will precede the parade.

The theme of the Bay Ridge event is "Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity." Its grand marshal will be Sister Ann Clancy, principal of Fontbonne Academy.

The parade will proceed to Fifth Avenue and then north to 59th Street in Sunset Park where it will disperse at Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The grandstand will be at Fifth Avenue and 75th Street.
