Salt Lake City celebrates St. Patrick’s Day on Saturday with a parade, party and sunny weather

It begins at 10 a.m. on the corner of 200 South and 500 East and proceeds west, ending at State Street. After the parade, the Siamsa festivities continue at the Gallivan Center, 239 S. Main. with Irish music, dance and food, according to the Utah Hibernian Society website.

The National Weather Service is predicting almost perfect weather for the event: sunny, with a high temperature near 51.

There are two grand marshals this year: Quinn Kiger-Good, a clinical social worker and the manager of the Fisher House, where families with loved ones in the Salt Lake Veterans Hospital can stay; and Colonel Rayfel Bachiller, a Fisher House champion who helps raise money for the facility.
