We invite you to join us for the 3rd annual “Sláinte Sharon” St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 15, 2025!
"Sláinte" (pronounced slawn-cha) is a popular toast in Ireland and means "cheers" and/or “to your health" in Irish Gaelic. Help us cheer on Sharon at this third annual Mercer County event!
