St. Paddy’s Day Parade and Overnight with Out Our Front Door out of Chicago, IL
March 17 - March 18
$95
Join the Out Our Front Door crew for some South Side Irish festivities + bike camping. Organizers will have a spot to march in the South Side Irish Parade down Western Avenue with the OOFD banner! Everyone will gather at the start of the parade near 103rd and Western and walk/ride bikes in the parade, which ends at 115th Street and Western.
Once everyone reaches the end of the parade, everyone will get some lunch, and then ride out to Camp Sullivan in Oak Forest to camp, which is about 12 miles from the end of the parade route. The group will have dinner and enjoy a fire with some beverages and get up on Monday morning, have a light breakfast, and pedal back to Beverly, where the parade started. From there, the riders will head home with options to ride back north with some OOFD folks or even catch a Metra or the Red Line train.
For the parade march, the more, the merrier! So there are lots of free tickets if you just want to come and walk with Out Our Front Door in the parade and head home that same day. The paid tickets are for those that want to walk in the parade AND bike camp.
You can learn more about the event and register for the parade and/or the camping here.
