Patrick's Parade

Patrick leading the way.  The parade started out in the sun but before it was over,  hail was coming down.  Regardless of the weather it was a fun day for all in Killybegs.

  5. There was no parade here, just an excuse for people to get drunk and drunker. Arrests go up and generally there is a little extra carnage on the roads. I think this is one festival, on balance, we wish Ireland had kept to itself. How it became such a worldwide phenomenon I have no idea.

  6. Fun...fun...
    It did not rain and the sun was shining very brightly.
    I like the green car.

  17. It would be fun to watch a parade in a small town where the chances are good that you will know a lot of the people taking part!

  22. It looks like great fun.
    You can tell it's not a U.S. parade. I don't think you'd find accordions or harps in marching bands here!

  26. Bill - it made me smile to hear that the parade started with sun and ended in hail … I have attended many an English event with similar weather!!! I am amazed to see the marching bands with accordions - that's a new one for me. Thanks for sharing these fabulous photos!
