Happy Saint Patrick's Day, everyone! Since several Mstars writers currently reside in NYC, we decided to take a little break from bringing our fans the latest entertainment news and share some exclusive photos from the annual St. Patty's Day Parade. Enjoy the festive holiday, and be safe!
As stated on the NYC Parade's official website:
The New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade is our country's oldest and proudest Irish tradition, marching for the first time more than 250 years ago, on March 17, 1762 - fourteen years before the Declaration of Independence.
Today, the NYC Saint Patrick's Day Parade is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. For 253 years, we have marched up 5th Ave. thanks entirely to the generous support of people like you.
The parade, which includes over 250,000 Irish Pride marchers, will make its way past St. Patrick's Cathedral up to 79th Street. This year's honorary Grand Marshal is Jack Ahearn, business manager of Local 30 of the International Union of Operating Engineers.
