OCEAN CITY, Md. - The Delmarva Irish American Club once again brought a splash of green and a burst of Irish spirit to Ocean City with its annual St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival on Saturday, March 16. This cherished tradition began back in 1980 and has since become Maryland's largest St. Patrick's Day parade.

The parade began at noon, starting on South 59th Street and ending at 45th Street. Before the parade festivities started, an Irish Festival took place at 11 AM on 45th Street Village. According to the club, this year's parade was sold out.

Attendees were treated to a display of bagpipes, floats, Irish dancing, and live music. The event was a celebration of Irish pride, transforming the city into a slice of Ireland itself.
