The parade was organized by the Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day Observance Association.

I think that the excitement and the anxiety of it all will warm them up,” said Beth Timoney, Director of Pride of Erin School of Irish Dance. “I see people have been wearing their masks, and people have been getting the vaccine, so I feel like I’m fine,” said Robin Simpson, from Bala Cynwyd. “I love Irish dancing, I like showing it to people,” said Lizzie King, from Fox Chase, performing in the parade.

The daylong party was set to close at 5 p.m., with a crowd singalong of “The Parting Glass,” a traditional Scottish song also sung widely in Ireland, particularly at wakes. Starting at 200 South and 600 West, the parade went through The Gateway shopping center along Rio Grande Street — ending at 50 North and 400 West. For the first time since 2019, Salt Lake City had an in-person St. Patrick’s Day parade — celebrating “new beginnings,” the parade’s theme, after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

By: KDKA-TV's Falicia Woody. PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — We are less than three hours away from the start of the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

There’s ice in a few locations on the sidewalks, and they are looking slushy, but of course the plows have been hard at work. Safety is the top priority for the city, and you have to be careful as you are coming out here because if you are setting up early to watch the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, it is slick on the sidewalks. More than a quarter of a million spectators and over 200 marching bands and floats are expected to fill the snow-covered streets.
