In New York City, St. Patrick’s Day is the day that everyone is — or wishes they were — Irish. Fifth Avenue is closed to traffic, the street’s center stripe is painted green, and thousands of marchers, dancers and celebrants make their way up the avenue in the world’s largest celebration of Irish heritage and culture.

Awesome photos! Love all the green.
I forgot to wear green on Monday and luckily, nobody pinched me.
Just awesome!! I swear, in a perfect world, every day would be St. Patty’s Day.
If everyone could actually smile everyday, the world would be a far better place! It’s nice to have pics like that to look at in gloomy day.
Glad to see you back blogging! Great parade and great picture show! I’ve some posts on Ireland in 1985 at Blogtrotter 80s, but the pictures are so lousy…
Have a great week!
