"The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales will participate in a St. Patrick's Day parade around Sawgrass Grove.

The parade route will close a portion of Meggison Road from Bexley Trail to St. Catherine Circle, around 11 a.m. Friday for approximately an hour.
Residents are encouraged to arrive early, as the Sawgrass Grove parking lot may be restricted before and after the parade.

Parking will be limited, available on first come first served basis. Residents are encouraged to carpool and utilize golf carts, bicycles or walking along the multi-modal path.

Attendees are discouraged from parking on streets in nearby villages.
During the parade, the detour route for Meggison Road will loop around Sawgrass Grove on St. Catherine Circle and Conley Court.

Do you think it’ll be crowded? Parking? Golf cart traffic? Brownwood bridge backed up?

Just curious….

Are you kidding!

Parade is forming south of Meggeson below Mickey Lee and coming north to Sawgrass. Not going to Brownwood.

Parade forming south of Mickey Lee pitch and putt and coming north to Sawgrass. Not near Brownwood...

It's crowded when the Clydesdales aren't here, how would it not be more crowded when they are here?

Plenty of cart parking in the grass aside Meggison along the MMP. I hope there's aerial video of this, too. It will be spectacular.

I will be there via a bicycle. You can betcha that the carts and cars will all be backed up. Leaving now from Gilchrist.

Just drove thru the area, crowed is a understatement, golf carts parked all along Meggison road. And the the round abouts have people standing in them. Traffic is backed up a half mile. Real hard getting into our subdivision. Sawgrass area is so packed, that it is hard to find a place to stand. Good luck...

It was packed! It was like the Strawberry Festival but with only about 20% of the parking space. The parking lot in Ezell was full and the side streets in St. Catherine's had a lot of cars parked on the street. The golf cars were on the grass behind Sawgrass and about halfway down to Roudell. Sawgrass was packed with people and there were people lined up on both sides of Meggison from Citrus Grove to St. Catherine's/Cason Hammock roundabout.

Not sure when they closed Meggison but if you were heading northwest on Meggison, once you got to Roudell Way, they were stopping all traffic. There were a lot of contractors and realtors that couldn't get out. They couldn't take the back roads and come out through Ezell and I don't think they could take the back roads and come out at St. Catherine Circle.

It was a nice parade but I don't think Meggison is a great venue for parades. It is the only road to and from the area which does create logistical problems for people not going to the parade.

Do they have parades on Morse or Buena Vista??

Looking good.
