The 46th Annual Ellen McAnelly Memorial St. Patrick's Day Parade is an annual tradition in Huntsville and the Madison County area. Participants from across the Tennessee Valley and beyond drape in green and don the shamrock for this celebration of community and parade through downtown Huntsville. The participants include new and classic fire trucks from Huntsville Fire and Rescue, the Irish wolfhounds, the brothers in green from the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Queen of Ireland and her royal court of princes and princesses, exhibitions of Irish music and dance, decorated vehicles and floats from local businesses and organizations, and even St. Patrick himself!
