A sea of green will move through New York City on Monday as bagpipes blow in the 264th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
Run entirely by volunteers, the New York event was first held in 1762, making it the oldest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the world, according to its website. It’s also the largest, drawing about 150,000 marchers and nearly two million spectators each year, the site says.
The procession will kick off at 11 a.m. sharp, at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and East 44th Street, before heading north.
“There is a lot of interest this year,” said Hilary Beirne, the parade’s chief administrator. “We are looking forward to a great day.”
Here’s what to know about this year’s festivities.
The event will be presented live on NBC 4 New York. It will also be streamed on Roku, YouTube, Samsung TV Plus, Xumo, PlayCozi, and on the parade’s and NBC 4’s websites.
