The St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival of Tucson takes place on March 15, 2020. Festivities at Armory Park kick off at 10:00 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m, while the parade will start at 11:00 a.m. The day will be filled with fun, floats, arts, crafts, music, food, and wonderful people. The Tucson personal injury team at Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys suggests the following ways to help ensure that you have an enjoyable and injury-free St. Patrick’s Day.
Keep Children Close
If you have young children, keeping a close eye on them can be challenging in large crowds. Encourage hand-holding, and take a picture of each child showing what he or she is wearing so you can share it with security in case you lose sight of your child. And for very young kids, strollers may be hard to navigate in crowds, but they’re a good way to make sure your kids are safe. Doing so will help reduce the chance of your child being injured.
Don’t Get Too Close to the Floats
Stay at least 10 feet away from floats as they pass by. Float riders may fall off if not careful, and you could receive serious injuries or even die if run over by a float.
Watch Where You’re Going
There are many sights to distract you at the parade and festival, from the floats to the bagpipers. Pay attention and watch where you’re going, because you could easily trip over a curb, cooler, or other item and suffer a slip-and-fall injury.
Watch Your Alcohol Consumption
If you choose to drink alcohol, make sure you have a designated driver who hasn’t been drinking. Drink only in moderation, because consuming too much alcohol makes you more likely to take unnecessary risks or suffer an injury.
