St. Patrick's Day Parade ~ 2022

After two long covid years,

a large crowd lined the

 streets in Richmond, Quebec,

in the Eastern Townships,

south of Montreal, for

 their St. Patricks Parade.

Richmond has long been 

renowned across the province

 for its annual celebrations of 

 Irish heritage and culture.

Despite rain in the forecast, 

it held off for the parade,

"the luck of the Irish"

Lots of horses, and horse teams.

 Farm Tractors 

and Lawn Tractors.

This tractor put on a show.

with smoke and flames.

Irish Wolfhound dogs

A large gentle dog.

Police on horseback,  were on guard also, 

All terrain vehicles

Many decorated floats from 

 community organizations

 and businesses.

I didn't take a lot of photos.

There were a lot of many 

other things to see,

like Scottish Pipers

and Pipe Bands.

of 3 pipe bands, visit

My photos were taken on a

 quite street, Craig St., near 

 the starting of the parade.

The next photo, (not my photo),

was taken on Main Street where

 most of the crowd gathered.

It felt great to have some

 normalcy in our lives again.

Lets hope that the virus count stays

low, as most of the restrictions

are being lifted.
