The Practice Marchedit
Every year, the club has a "Practice March" a few days before their parade. They usually walk from location to location (usually bars). Only members may participate in The Practice March.
Paradeedit
The Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Parade is held the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day. There is a pre-parade mass at a Catholic church; for the past few years the mass has been at St. Mary's Catholic Church. To march in the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club parade, membership is required. Suitable regalia includes the commemorative medallion and a tuxedo. The members are known to give out flowers from their flower cane and they also give out beads, especially pearl beads.
The Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Parade starts at Magazine Street and Felicity Street, than goes down Jackson Ave., than goes down St. Charles Ave. and turns onto Louisiana Ave., then goes onto Magazine St. This route centers on the Irish Channel district of New Orleans.
