The 13th annual St.Patrick's Day festival and parade in Charlotte, North Carolina has been changed from Saturday, March 14, 2009 to Saturday March 21.
If you live in the area, you'll know why they've postponed this yearly day of Irish fun. It's cold and rainy in North Carolina currently. After a week of summertime temperatures, a cold front rolled in with predictions of temperatures in the 30s. That's pretty typical of weather in North Carolina at this time of year. Spring can be hot or cold and change from one day to the next.
The delay does give everyone an extra week to make plans to enjoy the St. Patrick's Day festivities in downtown Charlotte which include Irish music and dancers, bagpipes, yummy food, and drinks.
The St. Patrick's Day Festival is from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. next Saturday on South Tryon Street between 1st and 3rd Streets.
The parade begins at 11 a.m. at Tryon and 9th Steet and goes south to Tryon and 3rd Street.
These are non-profit events, and admission is free.
There were 40,000 visitors last year, so expect a crowd - especially if the weather clears and we get back to sunny NC days again.
