The St. Patrick’s Green was everywhere in Fort Lauderdale Florida

At the last Saturday everyone who can walk or drive and whether you are Irish or not met at the Las Olas in the Downtown Area of Fort Lauderdale at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The gorgeous sunshine attracted 10,000 of Spectators at the streets near the Riverwalk

The St. Patrick’s Parade is a must in many cities in the United States but not every city has the luxury of bright warm sunshine and the early spring temperatures on this day. In Fort Lauderdale the sun let the spring feelings grow after a few colder days.

This year For Lauderdale celebrates its 100th birthday and the St. Patrick’s Parade was one of the celebrations which will take place all over the year. The huge green and white birthday under the protection of the motorized police officers was the start of the parade.

Tue parade was a historical journey from the beginning of the City of Fort Lauderdale with the horse coaches and the horseback sheriffs until the today’s technical equipped police departments.

The far most parade members came from New York. The NYPD – New York Police Department – sent police officers and a historical police car for the parade in Fort Lauderdale.

Of course the bag pipers and the Irish Dancers were also not missing. The bag pipers marched stylish in the kilt and gaiters with the bearskin hatted conductor along the enthusiastic crowd.

Everybody – in the parade and at the street line – had lots of fun and came together at the Huizenga Plaze Parc with music, special Irish food and English beer and absolutely everything was in green and white and decorated with shamrocks.

We already know where we will be next year at this time. You too? – In Fort Lauderdale, the Venice of America –

St. Patrick’s Parades are a tradition in the United States since the middle of the 19th Century. At the first parade hardly 800 Irish people come together and marched across their city waving the colors. In Ireland the people enjoy the St. Patrick’s Day mostly in a calm manner but in the United States this day is more people’s celebration day with music, dance and English beer.
