About the Event
Join us for the Atlanta St Patrick’s Day Parade. Saturday, MARCH 16, 2024
DREAM Dachshund Rescue has been invited to walk in the 2024 Atlanta St Patrick’s Day Parade. DREAM’s tagline for the parade is: "Here for the Shenanigans," and being dachshunds, we are sure they will live up to those words! Dachshunds and their friends get to parade down the middle of Peachtree Street from just north of 15th St all the way down to 5th Street. It's gonna be a sham-rocking good time!!! This is Atlanta's longest-running event, and we couldn't be happier to have been invited to party. Join us, and bring your dachshunds and honorary dachshunds, too...we are all our supporters and would be honored to have you and your pups be a part of our merry band of weens. When else will you get the chance to walk your wiener dog down the middle of Peachtree St?!?
Festive Wear Oh, what to wear?
A DREAM St Pat’s Parade shirt of course! Be sure to order soon to get your GREEN for the WEENS here: http://www.bonfire.com/dream-dachshund-rescue-1. Order early to ensure delivery in time for the parade! Please note that orders take 7-14 days, so plan accordingly. But hey, you can wear the green and support the weens all year! All revenue earned helps to fund veterinary costs for DREAM foster dogs. Besides wearing our t-shirts, feel free to dress up your dogs, paint your faces, drape your boas, and wear your hats. Parade wagons, jogging strollers, and other wheeled vehicles are welcome! Have your dachshund ride in style and design their doggy stroller into a float! The more spirited you are, the more fun we will have. And the most spirited will be awarded a special prize by DREAM at the end! This is a family-friendly event. Bring your kids, your dogs, etc. Pets MUST be leashed. TONS of info you need to know for walking in the parade can be found at the link below. Let's face it - ATL is a pro at putting on this shindig.
Day of Meetup Details
Groups are given staggered arrival times to reduce congestion in the marshaling area. DREAM is set to meet at 10:30 at the staging area. We are meeting beginning at 9:45 at the Promenade Parking deck at 1230 W Peachtree Street NE 30309. DREAM will be waiting for you at the 15th St entrance to this deck. This is at the intersection of 15th St and Arts Center Way. Please note: This is a pay deck, and you are responsible for paying for your own parking. https://maps.app.goo.gl/TCpmDJzbAGUupYADA?g_st=ic We are gathering as a group at this parking deck to walk together to the staging area check-in. This is what has been asked of us by the parade route managers. So...YAY...we've figured out parking and a place to gather as a group so we can walk to the parade check-in all together. (Parade logistics are hard, especially when dealing with dachshund time. You absolutely MUST be on time.) Around 10:20, we will walk to the staging area around as a group. Parade step-off is promptly at noon. Plan on plenty of time to park and find your way to the parking promenade or if you are late, our place in the staging area. If you have not joined our group at the staging area before noon, enjoy the parade along the route and wave to us as we pass by! Other Parking Options If this deck gets full, there is another parking deck for the Woodruff Arts Center just off 15th St & Arts Center Way, and it's super easy to see one deck from the other. You won't miss us gathering at the corner of 15th St & Arts Center Way.
Please note that some streets will be closed for the parade so arrive early for best access. Some other parking suggestions we've been provided are the One Midtown Plaza off of Arts Center Way, the Colony Square parking deck on 14th, the Campanile parking deck on Juniper, the Proscenium parking deck on Crescent, and the Promenade II parking deck on 15th will be open. Rates will apply.
