    About Us

    ORIGIN STORY

    In 1977, four upstanding men were enjoying themselves at a local SLC establishment. Suddenly one of the men declared, "Let’s have a parade!". The four men promptly stood up, walked out onto 400 South, and cheerfully marched down the street. Check out our history page for the full story told by John Welsh, one of those four geniuses.

    The following year would see the parade officially start with an estimated 5,000 spectators. Since then, the parade has become a staple event in the community with over 20,000 spectators and participants.

    WHAT WE DO

    We support local charities through a variety of events, the signature event of the year is the St. Patrick's Day parade.
