St. Patricks Day Parade


Every year the Saturday before St. Patrick's day Delray Beach shuts down its down-town area and has a parade. The parade this year was themed Jamaican-Me-Irish, and combined both reggae and Irish cultures. The parade is the largest parade in the state of Florida and had over 50,000 people in attendance this year.


One of the big attractions at the parade was the Palm Beach Pipes and Drums. This group is famous around the country for their performances. The other theme of the day was "Be Green", this was to encourage people to conserve and go green.
