Weekend Highlights, March 13-14 (updated)

There is soooo much going on this weekend, I have to keep reminding myself that the New Haven St. Patrick’s Day parade is on Sunday!  The parade is scheduled whether rain or shine, but in the event of inclement weather, updates about the status of the parade can be found Sunday morning on either News Channel 8/WTNH-TV or WPLR Radio Station 99.1 FM.  Follow this link to see a complete route of the parade, and please note that free parking is available at all Yale parking lots except for restricted lots marked with red signs.  Most importantly, DON’T BE LATE to the parade!  The switch to Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend, so don’t forget to move your clocks ahead one hour before you go nighty night on Saturday.

p.s. Want a double dose of St. Patty’s Day celebrations?  Visit Milford’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, so long as it doesn’t rain cats and dogs, or leprechauns, whatever the case may be.
