PHOTOS: 47th Annual St. Patrick’s Parade on Greenwich Ave

Sunday was a glorious sunny but chilly day for the St. Patrick’s Parade down Greenwich Avenue.

Sponsored by the Greenwich Hibernian Association, it was their 47th annual parade event.

The grand marshal was Kevin McFadden. Among the many highlights of the 90 minute parade were state and local elected officials including Governor Ned Lamont, Congressman Jim Himes, State Senator Ryan Fazio, State Rep Rachel Khanna, First Selectman Fred Camillo and Selectperson Janet Stone McGuigan.

There were 7 bagpipe bands included in the 11 total bands: Greenwich Pipe Band, Fairfield County Police Pipes and Drums, Westchester Firefighters Pipes and Drums, Essex County Emerald Society Pipe Band, Pyramid Shriners Pipes & Drums, Pelham Regional Pipe Band, Celtic Cross Pipes and Drums, Port Chester High School Marching Band, Tappan Zee Bridgemen, Nash Drum Corp and Wholly Brass Band.

In addition there were more than 50 groups of local schools, scouts, fire and police departments and civic organizations marching, as well as a number of antique and vintage vehicles.

There were Irish Step Dancers from three local schools – Lynn Academy of Irish dance, Anam Cara Irish Dance and Harney Pender Keady Academy of Irish Dance.

And the perennial favorite, the men in beloved tiny cars – the Pyramid Shriners Motor Patrol – and much more.
