Local St.Patrick's Day parades have already begun in anticipation of the Celebration of St. Patrick's Day, a day to celebrate Irish Heritage. St. Patrick's Day has been celebrated on March 17th as a religious feast day and as the commemoration of the the Anniversary of the death in the 5th Century. Celebrated for over one thousand years in Europe, the first organized recorded St. Patrick's Day parade in the United States was in New York City in 1762. The Irish soldiers serving in the British Army in New York City on March 17th, 1762 marched through he streets of New York City accompanied by their traditional music. As well as marching in remembrance of a homeland tradition, these Irish Soldiers who marched through New York City were reconnecting with their Irish Roots and bringing to America the traditions of Ireland.
The current New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade can be traced back to 1848 when Irish Aid Organizations united to present one Large New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade instead of a group of smaller ones. the New York City St. Patrick's Day parade is currently counted as the largest in the world with over 150,000 marchers and three million spectators lining the parade route through the heart of Manhattan, along with millions more watching a live television broadcast. Other large St, Patrick's Day Parades take place in the United States in Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and Savannah.
