We found attending the St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City to be a unique experience. The sheer vastness of all the marchers and their music and costumes was unlike anything else we have seen.Full review by Potomac_11

The St.Patrick’s day parade is a huge event in NY with thousands in the parade and even more watching. Great to see some good weather in 2023 as it was pouring rain in 2022. Super fun. Recommended.Full review by StephenCr0ss

The closer to midtown the more expensive the parking...watch the signs & drive around the block a few times can get you free parking on the street as many garages can't accommodate a truck height...anywhere on 5th Ave on the parade route you can find a spot is going to be fine...not the same as Thanksgiving parade...find an Irish pub for the real experience lol
