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.
To view some short videos
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.
