The parade, which started onf 16th Street and JFK Boulevard, featured Irish dancers, cultural groups, and marching bands from all around the world."It's really fun. We love coming back every year and dancing in front of a live audience. That's one of our favorite things about St. Patrick's Day is getting in front of a live audience. They really bring the energy with us," said 17 year old Grace Mulholland from McDade Cara School of Irish Dance.
"Our kids get to see their Irish roots and where they come from and what the flag means," said Michael Mc Meel of the Tyrone Society of Philadelphia.
