Hollywood St. Patricks Day Parade & Festival
There comes a day each year when the spirit of the Irish takes hold of all, and downtown Hollywood undergoes a stunning transformation into a verdant sea. The streets throng with a massive crowd, filling every nook and cranny of the downtown area as vibrant floats make their way through and bands strike up melodious tunes. This year, the spotlight shone on the renowned New York City Police Department’s Emerald Society Pipe and Drum Corps, a beloved mainstay of these festivities.
The procession of floats commenced its journey down Hollywood Boulevard at the stroke of 1:00 pm, accompanied by live music and spirited dancing that reverberated throughout the afternoon and well into the night. Local businesses generously flung open their doors, welcoming both the families of the community and visitors from as far as the Emerald Isle itself. With its family-friendly ambiance, the Hollywood festival extends a warm and inclusive invitation to all. As the calendar turns towards March 2025, the anticipation for the next celebration brims with excitement.
