St Patrick's Day festivities: a success!

Montrealers came out to attend the 178th St, Patrick's Day parade on Sunday. The parade started of at Fort Street at noon and ended a little before three at Phillips Square.

The show went on this year with no incidents. Last year, a 20 year old man from laval suffered a tragic death during the parade. Measures of prevention were hicked up this year with an additional fifteen thousand dollars spent on security.

St. Patrick was an Irish blessing this year. It is reported that the parade was an upbeat one despite last year’s tragedy.
