"It reminds me of New Orleans. I’m from New Orleans, it’s the Mardi Gras that’s there, so the festivities and all the people in the costumes, I mean, you just see them from one end to the other end, and it’s same as Mardi Gras. Everything is green. The weather is nice. The sun is out."

"Once we moved in the city, we started coming here and just saw all the excitement and the hype the last couple of years. So wanted to go all out and, you know, have some, have a fun time while dressing up and taking photos and really getting into the spirit."

STORYLINE:
St. Patrick’s Day, the annual celebration of all things Irish, was marked across the United States on Monday with boisterous parades and festivities.
Major celebrations also kicked off Monday morning in several big cities, including Savannah, Georgia, and other American communities, though some of the cities most transformed by Irish immigration held festivities over the weekend.
Festivities on March 17 were popularized by Irish immigrant communities, who in the 19th century faced discrimination and opposition in the U.S.
The parades are meant to commemorate Ireland’s patron saint but have become a celebration of Irish heritage globally.
