Mals St. Paddys Day Parade
All roads lead to Malcolm White.
Mal’s St. Paddy’s Day Parade will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year. What began as a simple rush-hour, traffic-stopping pub crawl in 1982 is now the third largest in the world thanks to the passion of Malcolm White, Jill Conner Browne and international Sweet Potato Queen Wannabes tourists. Now is the time to nag about the parade theme, an essential ingredient for making kids smile, impressing bucketheaded judges and having the time of your life.
Wells United Methodist Church hosts the premiere family friendly, no tobacco/alcohol, festival each September with local bands, hands-on activities and a silent auction fit for all tastes, and all proceeds are donated to a non-profit. I don’t want to hear parents say our families have nothing to do!
