The 2010 version of the downtown St. Patrick's Day Parade is scheduled for Saturday, March 13th. The parade will begin at 1 p.m., starting at 5th and Broadway to EK Gaylord, east on Sheridan into Bricktown. Quite a popular holiday event, the parade typically has thousands of OKC residents lining the streets. There will be more than 80 parade entries, Shriners, dancers, clowns, animals, antique cars and more. Tom McDaniel, President of Oklahoma City University, is the 2010 Grand Marshal.

The parade was absolutely awesome but Bricktown emptied immediately after the parade. The litter looked like the Day after Fat Tuesday in Louisiana. My question is is there a way to keep the folks hanging out after the parade and also does anyone know who picks up the litter from the parade? The politicial information being tossed to the crowd, candy wrapers and just all kinds of litter were everywhere in Bricktown. Looked quite unsightly as people getting out for their evening in Bricktown. Any suggestions on how this should be cleaned up? It definitly needs to be addressed in the future. Again the parade was great, lots of green.
