Pittsburgh has a rich tradition when it comes to St. Patrick’s Day Parade – The earliest recorded parade was in 1869. It has definitely come a long way over the past 153 years. From carts on the unpaved streets to a spontaneous parade in nine inches of snow in the 90s, to today’s all-day affair – the Pittsburgh St. Patrick’s Day Parade is something you do not want to miss! With about 1/5 of the Yinzer population claiming Irish roots, it’s nearly impossible not to celebrate.
