2010 Brookside St. Patrick's Warm-Up Parade 63rd Street and Brookside St. Patrick's Day Parades	Sat., March 13, 2:00pm	Brookside	Family Events St. Patrick's Day
The trouble with St. Patrick's Day is that it often falls on a weekday. Like this year, for example, the 17th of March is a Wednesday and since it's not a national holiday that means most of us don't have the day off from work. That's why Brookside always holds a St. Pat's Warm-Up Parade a few... More >>

The Elders, Big Smith The Midland	Sat., March 13	City Market/Columbus Park	Music

Surfer Blood, Turbo Fruits, the Dactyls Replay Lounge	Sat., March 13, 10:00pm	University of Kansas	Music
