Of course we couldn’t forget the St. Patty’s day parade in NYC


New York has the largest St. Patrick's Day parade with an estimated two
million attendees every year. New York also has the longest continuously
running St. Patrick's Day parade in the world. It was organized by Irish soldiers
in the British army in 1762. The parade begins at 44th Street, goes up Fifth
Avenue, past St. Patrick's Cathedral at 50th Street. The parade finishes about
five to six hours later on 86th Street.
