THERE���S one ethnic group that everyone joins this month. The whole town ���turns green��� during the week preceding March 17, with highlights that include the 47th Shamrock Club St. Patrick���s Day Parade on Saturday, March 9. Milwaukee���s celebration actually began with a parade in 1843 before incorporation of the city. The 2013 parade starts at noon at the Shops of Grand Avenue, Old World 3rd Street and W. Wisconsin Avenue. Follow Wisconsin Avenue east to Plankinton, north on Plankinton to Kilbourn Avenue, west on Kilbourn to Old World 3rd, north to Juneau Avenue, east to Water Street, then south to Highland Avenue where the parade route ends. Along the parade route, lift a glass at Trinity���Three Irish Pubs and cross the ���Irish Intersection��� to the Harp. Other spots downtown also plan post-parade parties. The Post-Parade Party is from 1-6 p.m. at the Irish Cultural & Heritage Center, 2133 W. Wisconsin Ave. On St. Patrick���s Day, March 17, Trinity���Three Irish Pubs at 125 E. Juneau Ave. will open its doors at the traditional 6 a.m. The three-pub location will connect with the Harp, 113 E. Juneau Ave., via a tent that will cross a closed-off Edison Street to join the two businesses. On Milwaukee���s East Side (near UW-Milwaukee) the Black Rose hosts an all-day bash with live music as well. Entertainment info can be found in this month���s Arts & Entertainment listing.
