Head down to the Queen City on Saturday for day filled with fun. It may be a little belated, but the St. Patrick's Day Parade takes place in downtown Manchester this weekend. Join tens of thousands of people on Elm Street for the largest community event of the year. You'll find bagpipers, high school bands, and other marching units celebrating the luck 'o the Irish in style. This year's Grand Marshall will be Catherine "Kay" Moran, a lifelong resident of the City of Manchester who grew up in "the fields" section of the city, near Gill Stadium. For further details about the parade, contact InTown Manchester at 603-645-6285.

This weekend, the University of New Hampshire hosts the 2009 NCAA Division I Men's Hockey Northeast Regionals at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.

That game will be followed by the number one ranked Boston University playing the number four ranked Ohio State. The winners of both games will face off in a final game on Sunday. Tickets are $82 for a two-day package.
