Spring is (Almost) Here–Celebrate at the St Pat’s Parade Saturday!!

It’s one of Brookside’s most popular community events…the annual St. Patrick’s Warm-Up Parade, happening tomorrow, Saturday March 14, 2023!

This family friendly event starts at 2pm; note neighboring streets will be blocked off early afternoon. One of the reasons I like this parade so much is that spectators can get very close to the route and see all the fabulous floats, dancers, bands, classic cars and decorations up close. And the parade itself is pretty long–sometime going more than an hour! This year’s theme is Chasing Rainbows.

If you plan on going to the parade, please be aware that many streets around the route will be clogged with cars and pedestrians–if you must drive, park several blocks away and walk to your viewing spot. Be extra careful driving and enjoy the day…the parade route is posted below. (There is a possibility the parade could be delayed by a week due to weather.) See you there!

Brookside Sidewalk Sale

The annual Brookside Sidewalk Sale starts Friday July 6, through Sunday July 11, 2018.

Stroll along the 63rd St sidewalks and browse the bargains…many merchants set up items just outside their doors, with more sale items inside the cool air conditioned stores. I always find great deals during the sidewalk sale…it’s worth the trip!  You’ll find discounts on various merchandise from 40-75%!

Also happening on Saturday–the Shred It for area residents.  From 8am-11am, bring papers for shredding (up to two boxes per person) to the parking lot behind Jalepeno’s for safe and secure shredded disposal of documents and various personal papers.

Thank you for supporting local Brookside businesses!  It seems like summer is passing so quickly…..
