PARK SLOPE — If you missed the main St. Patrick's Day parade in Manhattan, you can still get your shamrocks and bagpipes fix this Sunday in Park Slope.

Brooklyn's 41st St. Patrick's Day Parade will kick off at 1 p.m. The parade starts at 15th Street and Prospect Park West, goes down 15th to Seventh Avenue, makes a right on Seventh to Garfield Place, heads up Garfield to Prospect Park West and then back to 15th Street.

There's no parking starting at 6 a.m Sunday on Prospect Park West from Ninth Street to 15th Street and all along Bartel-Pritchard Square. Cars that violate the order will be towed, police said.

The following streets will be closed Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m., according to the Department of Transportation:

• Prospect Park West between Ninth Street and 15th Street
• 15th Street between Prospect Park West and Seventh Avenue
• Seventh Avenue between 15th Street and Garfield Place
• Garfield Place between Seventh Avenue and Prospect Park West

The parade festivities this year include a 9 a.m. pre-parade Mass at Holy Name of Jesus Church at 245 Prospect Park West in Windsor Terrace. Bands and marching units will assemble at noon on Prospect Park West between Ninth and 15th streets, according to the parade organizers.

This year's grand marshal is Mary Hogan, national president of Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians.
