Very Poorly run Parade and Festival. We got to the Parade about an hour early only to have Rude and Homeless people show up at the last minute to get in front of the kids and get in the street to scoop up and beg for all the candy and trinkets that the participants were passing out to on lookers. There was no police or organizers keeping people out of the streets and on the curb. This is the responsibility of the organizer.
We spoke to one of the Parade judges and he bragged how the parade gets Bigger and more floats every year. Someone needs to let the organizing committee know that Bigger is not necessarily better. Most of the participants had nothing to do with St. Patrick's day.
The "Turn Charlotte Green Festival" was also dis-organized. They try to pack everything in such a tight area that you can't even walk down the street to get to the stage to see the performers. It's time to move the Festival to a large park or one of the area venues like Rural Hill Plantation,so there is space.
If the committees don't decide to do such a move then I'm sure some of the other Towns in the area will start their own activities and capitalize on the opportunity to bring the "Irish of the Charlotte area" to their community to celebrate their Irish roots.
