Waveland Civic Association St. Patrick’s Parade
At the Board Mayor and Alderman meeting on March 1, the City of Waveland permitted the Waveland Civic Association to host their annual St. Patrick’s Parade. Since the parade was just authorized this week, many of the parade details are still undetermined. Here is what I know about the Waveland Civic Association St. Patrick’s Day parade at this time. The parade will take place on Sunday, March 21, at 1:00 pm. |
What's Up, Waveland?

The WCA will not use their traditional parade route. The tentative but probable route will start at Bienville-Beach Boulevard, go north up Coleman Avenue, turn left onto Central Avenue, and disband at Elwood Bourgeois Park. This will nearly double the length of the parade route to allow attendees to spread out.

This map shows the parade route for 2021, modified to allow for social distancing.
For the most up-to-date information about the parade, please visit the Waveland Civic Association Facebook.
Attendees are encouraged to wear a mask if they are in a crowd, stay at least 6 feet away from others who do not live with them, and please stay at home if you are sick.
And before anyone asks, the answer is yes, I'm Irish – but please don't kiss me this year.

Waveland Food Truck Friday
The City of Waveland will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at March’s Waveland Food Truck Friday, which will be held on Friday, March 12, from 5-8 pm on Coleman Avenue.
At March’s Waveland Food Truck Friday, the Waveland Civic Association will present their 2021 Colleen and Maids. The presentation of the Waveland Civic Association court will take place at approximately 5:45.
The 200 block of Coleman Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic to accommodate the food trucks, and the Waveland City Hall lobby will be open for the use of restroom facilities. Admission is free and open to the public.
Food can be purchased through the food trucks: Rollin Bayou, Twisted Magnolia, Semplice Pizza, and Denny Wayne’s Festive Foods.
