The St. Patrick's Day parade has been a proud tradition of this town for over 50 years. It began as a way to honor the contributions of immigrants in building this country. Now it has become a key part of our community. It is an event that everyone looks forward to each year. When the snow begins to melt, we know that the St. Patrick's Day parade is just around the corner.

This year's parade will be one for the history books. For the first time ever, citizens from other towns will be participating. Each town will build its own float. On parade day, these floats will move along the usual parade route. After that, everyone will be able to vote for his or her favorite float. The winning town will earn the title of "Float King"—at least until next year's parade.
