Parade Route




The Irish Colleen
Every year prior to the parade, SaPaDaPaSo members nominate an Irish Colleen.
The Irish Colleen is an extra touch of class for the parade
She is a young girl of Irish descent who is selected by a panel of judges, based on a questionnaire and submitted photo. She serves as a hostess at the Irish Hooley, rides in a convertible during the parade, and helps distribute awards at the after-parade celebration.
This honored position is a position of prestige in the Irish community.
