Queens County represented in NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade by Bridget O'Brien

March 16, 2016 - PRLog -- Legendary Peacemaker Senator George Mitchell is the Grand Marshal of the 2016 NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade. The Parade community is appreciative of all that he has accomplished in his career, especially his efforts in helping bring about the Good Friday Agreement which took place on April 10, 1998.  The Parade is also excited about this year's fourteen Aides to the Grand Marshal who have demonstrated leadership and acts of giving in their home communities, the greater New York area and Ireland.

The first New York St Patrick's parade stepped off Lower Broadway on March 17th 1762, fourteen years before the Declaration of Independence was adopted. Over two hundred and fifty years later, the Parade is considered the largest parade in the world, with two hundred thousand marchers, and more than two million spectators lining Fifth Avenue to watch the annual pilgrimage up Fifth Avenue. The television broadcast of the parade connects over 1.5 million household viewers with this extraordinary tradition, and the web-streaming of the parade, which began in 2008, expands the impact of the parade worldwide.  Tune in on St. Patrick's Day on NBC.
