St. Patrick's Day Parade

St. Patrick's Day Parade

"Whether you hail from the Emerald Isle is of no consequence—on St. Patrick's Day, everyone can lay claim to being at least a little bit Irish (even the City's bagels and beer, which can be got in green for the occasion). The parade itself lays claim to being the oldest (it was first held in 1762) and largest of its kind in the world. Clad yourself in kelly for the event and watch bagpipers, marching bands and assorted revelers from near and far as they march up Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 79th Street. The parade starts at 11am and typically ends between 4:30 and 5pm" --nycgo.com
