It's the equivalent of scoring a 97-yard touchdown on a football field and is the self-proclaimed shortest St. Patrick's parade in our state.

The 3rd annual New York State's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade is scheduled to return on Sunday, March 12th in Auburn.

The first such parade was in 2020, days before the pandemic started.

The 291-foot-long route is welcomed to all that want to participate.

Several Auburn area bars and restaurants will be holding specials that day as well.

The parade lineup is at 9:30 a.m. March 12th. The actual parade will start 30-minutes later.

Organizers say, "prior to and following the parade, the AOH club, located at 79 VanAnden St., will have an open house that day. Drink and food specials will be available."
