rdf:langString The New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade is an annual parade organized by the Irish Community of New York City to honor Saint Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland while celebrating their Irish culture and heritage. The parade is composed of thousands of participants from the many Irish cultural organizations and affiliated institutions across New York City, who each march under the banners of their respective groups. The parade is led each year by a Grand Marshal, and features representation from across the uniformed services in New York City, which each have a significant affinity to the Irish community in New York. These include the 69th New York Infantry Regiment, New York Police Department, Fire Department of the City of New York, New York Correction Department and New York State Department of Corrections. The parade also features participants from across the city's political establishment, with the city's Mayors (Bill de Blasio) and City Councilors regularly marching in the parade. The parade has also regularly attracted participants from national politics across both the United States (George J. Mitchell, Hillary Rodham Clinton) and Ireland (Leo Varadkar, Mary Lou McDonald). For the first time in its history, the full parade was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with no parades taking place during 2020 and 2021. However, a small contingent consisting of representatives from the Fighting 69th Regiment and the parade committee still marched up Fifth Avenue in the early hours of March 17, 2020, in order to preserve the parade's 258-year record of marching. In 2021, still in the throes of COVID, the parade again took a different shape, and only some 120 or so marchers, joined by NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, made their way up Fifth Avenue. The full parade returns on March 17, 2022.
