Where would you expect the biggest parade to be on St. Patrick’s Day? Of course, the Big Apple! A six-hour long affair that spans 35 city blocks, revelers enjoy glamorous floats, marching bands, special celebrity guests and so much more (including coverage on our show, We Hear!). A week before the parade, NYC’s Irish Arts Center hosts an annual St. Patrick’s Open event featuring music and dance.
