Sure, St. Patrick's Day was nearly two weeks ago but Manchester's parade was this past Sunday. There's actually a good reason for that.

As you might imagine, larger cities are all vying for the same top notch entertainment the weekend nearest the holiday. We're talking cities with huge parades like Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Instead of settling for a lesser parade, Manchester opts to hold their celebration a week or two later! Another benefit? The weather in late March, while not great, is far better than mid-March.

Check out some of the highlights from this year's parade!
