Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade & Festival is a Mississippi tradition that celebrates community and raises funds for Children’s of Mississippi, organizers said in a Facebook post.
The event, held in Jackson, the state capital, brings residents together for family-friendly activities, a parade and lively afterparties, the post said. Organizers encouraged people to join in the celebration of culture and charity.
Children’s of Mississippi is a pediatric healthcare provider in the state, and local fundraisers like this one help support hospitals and programs that serve children and families, community leaders say.
St. Patrick’s Day parades and festivals commonly serve as both cultural celebrations and community fundraisers, drawing families, local groups and volunteers who help produce the events. For many communities, such events also provide a boost to local businesses and civic organizations.
Details about schedules, routes and how to participate were not provided in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
