In Crown Point, the city’s nighttime St. Patrick’s Day parade returns this week after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The parade steps off at dusk this Thursday, March 17 in the downtown square. Vendors will be on the square from 3-9 p.m. City officials remind motorists that multiple road closures and parking restrictions will be in effect beginning at noon tomorrow for the celebration. Mayor David Uran, who started the parade when he took office in 2008, said the event usually draws thousands to the city.
