“Who will be our next Mr. & Ms. Lilburchaun? Dress in your most festive St. Patrick's Day attire, decorate your bike, stroller, or any non motorized vehicle and join the fun as our Leprechaun Stilt Walker and Bagpipe player lead us in a walking parade around Lilburn City Park!” the event description said.

Attendees are invited to meet at the band shell in the park at 4 p.m. Saturday, March 14.

Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

Footage from last year’s parade shows guests took heed and donned their best holiday-themed, most leprechaun-like attire. Some children rode on bikes with star-shaped green balloons tied to them and others wore festive headbands and floral green leis around their necks.
