Okay, I realize coming from Boston my idea of a St Paddy’s Day parade is grand, so I have to say I was taken aback by the lack of interest. In Boston, you’d be straining to see the parade at least an hour before it starts, but in Charlotte, there was very little interest until the parade actually started.
I got a pretty good seat for the parade and people were having a good time. The crowds were low (perhaps people were all at the pub crawl).
The parade started at 11 at 7th street and Tyron and traveled to 3rd Street.
Some people didn’t get the memo the parade was happening and cars were removed off Tyron Street.
The usual suspects were in sight; fire fighters, Irish dancers and catholic school floats.
It could be the lack of interest is due to this being the first time since COVID the parade was allowed to take place. It was a nice parade either way.
