The festivities were attended by 6,000 people and featured bagpipers, music, marching bands, antique cars, Irish dancers and more.

This year’s grand marshal was attorney Gerard Keogh. His aides were Ray Aalbue, Deirdre O’Hea, Brian Laffey, Chris Hart, Randy Litz, Barbara Wasserman, Liam Flaherty and Maureen Byrne O’Neill.
Parade Chairperson Michelle Brennan-Conlon said marching on the streets of Brooklyn to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day never gets old.
“It is so special when we can share our Irish culture, heritage and highlight the accomplishments of our own. St. Patrick smiled down on us with an exceptional day,” she said. “Each year the third Sunday in March is a Brooklyn reunion, so many people love meeting old friends and watching the parade together. it doesn’t make a difference if you are Irish, it’s always a great celebration.”
