Cincinnati St. Patrick's Day Parade Photos

We went to the St. Patrick's Day parade in Cincinnati yesterday. I am half Irish so I look forward to the parade every year- and it was a great day for a parade. The St. Patrick's Day Parade is a wonderful way to learn a lot more about Cincinnati’s Irish culture- it’s a thriving, joyous community. There were several hundred entrants in the parade, and thousands of people walked or rode to show their Irish pride. Among the groups were our favorite Irish pubs (Hap's), many, many Irish clans and, of course, plenty of politicians out stumping for the election year.

We arrived late, parked a couple of blocks away and walked right up to the sawhorses. When it got windy, we just ambled over to Rockin’ Robin's for some Guinness... and later wrapped up the long day at Molly Malone's in Covington. It was really fun, and I managed to snap a lot of photos.

Unfortunately, my camera batteries died, so I shot these photos of the St. Patrick's Day Parade with my Crackberry. They aren't magazine quality and I didn't crop them, just shot them.

But I do love this photo of the Irish dancers in the air. Aren't they sweet?
