The Sons & Daughters of Erin have registered for the Nevada Day Parade and invite all our fellow members of the area’s Celtic Community to join us in our annual tradition of marching in the Nevada Day Parade.
The Nevada Day Parade Officials have assigned us Entry #83 Division 4 staging on West Long St between North Division Street and Carson Street beginning at 8:00 a.m. We will be placed between Youth Theatre Carson City and Miss Pahrump Pageant
We will begin staging at 9am (vehicles must be staged by 8am) and we must all be in position by 10 am. We estimate we will be moving by 10:30 to 10:45 p.m.
Our delegation will include the following organizations and will be announced in the following order:
- Sierra Highlands Pipe Band
- Scottish American Military Society (SAMS)
- Nevada Society of Scottish Clans and Scottish participants
- Sons & Daughters of Erin and Irish participants
- Trailer/Float
The parade will end at the Carson Mall at Stewart. If there is anyone parking at the end the mall that is a good place to leave you car at the end. We will load up the float with supplies to shuttle us to our staging area.
Remember Carson St. is closed for the duration of the parade so Stewart on the east side and Curry on the west side are the only ways to get back to our staging area.
Please note: Since our staging area is on the west side of Carson, those who ride the float back will be dropped off on one of the east streets closest to our staging area requiring a short walk across Carson St. if it is still closed by the time we return.
Directions:
N. Carson St. will be closed from Winnie Lane to the North all the way down to Stewart St. to the South so the best way to get to our staging area on Adeline Street (see above) is the following route if you are coming from Reno: After you get out of the Washoe Valley, take the first right so you go down N Carson St. near the hospital. There will be a closure at Winnie so turn right there and make a left on N. Division. Take Division all the way down to Bath St, turn left and a quick right back on Division and find a parking space as close as possible to our staging area on West Long. Note: You may also want to continue down east down Bath and park along Nevada or Curry Streets as Adeline will be crowded with other entries
