Photos from the annual Oak Forest Irish celebration from 2017.

OAK FOREST, IL - Hundreds of people gathered along Cicero Avenue Saturday morning to take part in the annual Oak Forest Fleadh, a yearly St. Patrick's Day celebration that has been held on the first weekend on March since 2010.

Businesses, political groups, non-profits, city departments and Oak Forest residents helped make up for an impressive lineup of marchers. Countless onlookers watched as the floats went by from in front of local businesses such as People's Choice Heating and Cooling, Blarney Stone Pub and Dr. Robert J. Wirtz Orthodontics.

Thanks to People's Choice for providing Internet access to Patch during the race and the parade.
