The event brought together families, friends and visitors from across the area to honor Irish heritage and tradition. Marching bands, dancers, veterans’ groups and local organizations made their way along the route, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

Restaurants and bars along the parade route welcomed longtime patrons and newcomers alike, many of whom have made watching the parade an annual tradition.
