The New \u00a0York City St. Patrick\u2019s Day Parade is one of New York City\u2019s oldest traditions. The first parade was\u00a0on March 17, 1762, yes, before America was America!\u00a0The first parade was a group of Irish ex-patriots and Irish military members serving with the British Army stationed in the colonies in New York. Wearing green was a sign of Irish pride, but\u00a0was banned in Ireland. In the 1762 parade, people spoke Irish, wore green, sung Irish songs and played the pipes to Irish tunes that were meaningful to the Irish immigrants of\u00a0that time.<\/p>\n

Today, the parade marches up 5th\u00a0Avenue and is reviewed from the steps of St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral<\/a> by Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York.
