ST. PATRICK'S DAY 2023
The first St. Patrick's Day parade is said to have taken place in New York City in 1762, and the tradition has since spread to many other cities around the world. The largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the world is held in New York City, with over two million spectators and 150,000 marchers.
In addition to the traditional parade elements, many St. Patrick's Day parades also feature elements of Irish culture and heritage. For example, there may be Irish dancers performing traditional dances like the jig or reel, or bagpipers playing traditional Irish music.
