The Naples St. Patrick's Day Parade brought the customary throngs to
Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South yesterday.
Nothing like a good bagpipe band.
One of the Irish dancing schools.
Tossing candies and green beads.
A stilt walker.
The biggest cheers were given to the New York City's firefighters, whose float has
343 American flags, one for each firefighter who died in the September 11, 2001,
attack on the World Trade Center.
Colourful parade (as long as you like green!). I love to watch Irish dancing especially as done by the little ones.
ReplyDeleteA lot warmer than our parade was!
ReplyDeleteI just looked at photos from Ireland where everyone was bundled up against the cold. Now here I see another parade where everyone is soaking up the sun! What a contrast.
ReplyDeleteYour weather was a lot warmer than ours. People everywhere all enjoying a wonderful parade. Great shots, Jack!
ReplyDeleteI love a good bagpipe band Jack. All those lovely men in kilts 😀 Looks like lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteHooray for bagpipes and step dancers.
ReplyDeleteTossing candy and green beads?? When did that become a St. Patrick's Day thing?
Three hundred and forty three flags. A somber memorial.
