2026 Atlanta St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Check out our Marching Band and Color Guard for our TENTH appearance in Atlanta Saint Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 14th.  The parade is our city’s longest-running social event, going all the way back to 1848.  AFB has been marching in the parade since 2016 as the FIRST LGBTQ+ identified group in the parade.  The parade steps off at noon from Colony Square (Peachtree and 15th) and heads south to 5th Street.  Don your GREEN apparel and join in all the fun.  Plan to arrive early and bring a chair so you can claim a prime viewing spot to catch all the floats, dancers, specialty vehicles, and (of course) the marching bands!

Directions and Tips:  MARTA is a good choice for viewing the parade route with three stations along or near the festivities.  Parking is limited in Midtown and can be expensive, so a shared ride could also be a good option.
