9 things you'll see at every regional St Patrick's Day parade
1. Members of An Garda Siochana getting cheered and applauded by bystanders because that means the parade is about to start!
LET’S GET THIS PARTY GOING.
2. Majorettes
You don’t know where these majorettes practice. You don’t even know if they’re really a thing year-round.
But every St. Patrick’s Day, you are guaranteed to see them walking down the street, flawlessly twirling their batons.
3. A fleet of tractors
Little-known fact: St. Patrick’s Day is not a celebration of our patron saint, but rather a showcase for state of the art farm machinery.
4. Floats sponsored by the most random/grim businesses
We’ll say no more.
5. Don’t forget the topical floats!
Whoops!

6. No really, so many topical floats.
