WATCH St. Patrick's Day Parade LIVE STREAM 2015! NYC Celebrates March 17 - Time, Location, Grand Marshal, Line Of March & More!

New York City's annual St. Patrick's Day parade is held on Tuesday, March 17, 2015. The celebration kicks-off at 11 a.m. EST on 5th Avenue and 44th Street in the legendary Big Apple. For those who can't join the Irish-infused festivities, watch the parade LIVE here!

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 254 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 Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York City. Read more about Dolan's remarkable history with the Archbishop here.

Also get more info at the official website.

Here's a downloadable list of the 2015 "Line of March."

And again, the parade will air live on NBC Channel 4 (and MstarsNews fans can watch online here).

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!
