It’s been around so long you may have forgotten. Or maybe it just diminishes in our minds as we hear about it every year. But the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City is awesome.
First of all, the parade holds some incredible firsts.
Discounting military ones, it’s the oldest parade in the world, dating back to 1762.
It’s the largest parade in the world with some 150,000 participants and about 2 million spectators, according to the organizers.
