Manchester St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a big deal – so big that nearly as many people were participating in the parade as people watching the parade. Two-thousand people marched IN the parade and they came in five divisions. With big gaps between each division, it felt like five separate parades – each outfitted with a marching band, a bagpipe and drum corps, and a rainbow of community organizations.
It was really hard for me to thin out the pile of pictures I took at this event. Here are a few that I think came out okay for me to share. Enjoy!
