Do you have something green to wear? It's time for the 48th annual Denver St. Patrick's Day Parade.
St. Patrick's day has a special significance for Denver Residents. It's the time of year when the weather is getting warmer. Downtown Denver Condo and Loft residents are shifting from their indoor treadmill runs to fill up the paths on the Cherry Creek or Central Platte Valley Trails, and outdoor patios start filling up. And of course there is the green beer, the parade, the floats, and the laughter.
