| Yonkers Hibernians March in the Stamford St. Patrick's Day Parade |
Stamford, CT-
Irish eyes were smiling in downtown Stamford Saturday afternoon as the city
celebrated its 16th annual St. Patrick's Day parade under clear,
sunny skies.
Hundreds of people lined the parade route waving Irish flags, sporting kilts, pushing strollers, walking small dogs in green sweaters and, of course, sipping beer. The favorable weather was a relief for parade organizers and observers who remembered last year's parade, which was marked by fierce winds and heavy rain that eventually developed into a devastating nor'easter.
Members of the A.O.H-Myles Scully Division from Yonkers, NY were on hand to
march in this salute to the Irish. In previous years, the procession started at
the bottom of Summer Street and then looped up Bedford Street, he said. This
year, the parade started at Summer Street by North Street and proceeded down
Summer before turning east onto Main Street.
