As with most holidays in the New Orleans area, St. Patrick’s Day isn’t just one day, it’s a whole week of food, parties and parades. If you are a resident of one of 1st Lake’s New Orleans area apartments, you are right next to all the action.
On Thursday, March 13, New Orleans bars Tracey’s and Parasol’s have their annual block parties in the Irish Channel in New Orleans. Expect lots of great food, green beer and festive music.
On Friday, March 14, Molly’s at the Market in the French Quarter is hosting St. Patrick’s festivities all day and all night, starting with a limousine-lead pub-crawl at 8:30 a.m. Then, at 6:30 p.m. the annual Jim Monaghan St. Patrick’s Parade departs from Molly’s, winding through the French Quarter with the New Wave Brass Band, Kazoozie Floozies, marching groups and more.

Saturday, March 15, the New Orleans St. Patrick’s celebrations really kick in to high gear. Tracey’s and Parasol’s block parties resume and the Irish Channel St. Patrick’s Day Club’s 66th Parade rolls through the Irish Channel, considered by many to be the main event of the St. Patrick’s Day events in New Orleans.
Then, on Monday, March 17, the actual St. Patrick’s Day, the Downtown Irish Club Parade starts at 6:00 p.m. from the corner of Burgundy and Piety in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans.
As you can see, there is no shortage of options for spending St. Patrick’s Day the way you want to in New Orleans.
One of the comforts of living at a 1st Lake Properties apartment is all the amenities residents can enjoy right at home. Another perk of apartment living: we bring the luxury experience to you. You don’t have to seek it out. At 1st Lake, we take pride in our carefully maintained and artfully landscaped properties, and one of our favorite features are the walking paths at select apartments. If you enjoy a brisk walk before work to get your blood pumping, or prefer a leisurely stroll in your spare time, these metro New Orleans apartments accommodate.
Citrus Creek – If you want to live at an apartment community where it’s easy to get in shape, the Citrus Creek apartments in River Ridge are for you. Citrus Creek promotes fitness, not only with their on-site fitness center and tennis courts, but the ¾ mile exercise path with custom designed training stations.
Palmetto Creek – These charming apartments in River Ridge offer an excellent amenity package including access gates, creeks and fountains, garden, gazebos, pet walk, swimming pool, theater room and more. Palmetto Creek also has a jogging trail with workout stations, so all you have to do is lace up and hit the ground running right outside the door!
Lakes North and South – Get lost in these sister communities that have winding walkways and jogging paths adorned with bridges and flourishing landscaping. Plus at Lakes of Chateau Estates South, you can enjoy the ultimate walking path along a private lake as well as a golf course!
1st Lake Properties is always eager to help and serve the communities where its many properties are located. In the past, 1st Lake has participated in campaigns to benefit the United Way and Susan G. Komen foundations, as well the “Warm a Life” clothing drive and Coats for Kids Foundation, among other philanthropic efforts.
Coming up on February 28, all of the 1st Lake team members are encouraged to participate in the Jefferson Dollars for Scholars Jean Day. JDFS is a local, non-profit organization providing scholarships and summer enrichment camps for students in Jefferson Parish. By taking part in the JDFS Jean Day, the $5 donation included will go towards further education for underprivileged young students, whose dreams of going to college could become a reality with the help of programs like these.
All 1st Lake Properties team members are encouraged to participate and do their part for the good of their area. This is a great opportunity to empower the children in our communities to go down a college track, allowing a better future for everyone! So pick out your favorite pair of jeans and enjoy a casual Friday on February 28.
