The St. Patrick’s Day Parade has been happening in Charlotte for 24 years, but this is the first year back since the pandemic. Organizers say they are expecting it to be bigger and better than ever.

Thousands of people will be pouring into uptown Charlotte for the event, so attendees can expect plenty of crowds, traffic and closed roads.
