Erin go Bragh! Here come the St. Patrick’s parades
With March almost upon us, celebrants are getting ready for two major St. Patrick’s parades in Brooklyn and, of course, the oldest and biggest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the country, in the Big Apple on Friday, March 17.
The 262nd annual NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade kicks off at 11 a.m. and moves along Fifth Avenue from 44th to 79th Street.
The grand marshal is Kevin J. Conway, vice chairman of the global private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier and Rice. One of his aides representing Kings County is Robert Cardinal J.E. Murphy, the longtime drum major of the Knights of Columbus Pipes and Drums, whom we’ll likely see at the Bay Ridge parade as well.
