March should be a fun month in the Twin Cities. While it's still cold, longer days and more days with above-freezing temperatures mean that we can start to get outside more.
St. Patrick's Day is on March 17.
The 43nd Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade is the biggest St. Patrick's day event in the Twin Cities and turns downtown St. Paul green with over 100,000 spectators expected. In addition to the parade, the St. Paul St. Patrick's Association puts on a host of events leading up to St. Paddy's day, including the Worst Irish Tenor competition. Don't forget your earplugs.Snow lovers must make the most of this month: cross country ski areas and downhill ski and snowboard areas usually close around mid to late March.
Every March, Minnesota FoodShare organizes a statewide campaign to restock foodshelves. Many local malls, museums and events collaborate with FoodShare and act as collection points for donations, or give discounted admission in return for food donations.
