St. Patrick's Day Parades
St. Patrick's Day Parades are festive events held annually on March 17th to celebrate St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. These parades often feature colorful floats, marching bands, and participants dressed in green, symbolizing the lush landscapes of Ireland and the shamrock, which St. Patrick used to explain the Holy Trinity.
Cities around the world, especially those with large Irish communities, host these parades. Notable examples include the New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade, where the river is dyed green. The parades promote cultural pride and community spirit.
