St. Patrick's Day Parade
-
The ST.
PATRICK'S DAY PARADE began in
1969 when a group of local
businessmen convened in HARRY'S
OFFICE BAR on Queen Cross St. in Christiansted for
a "cool one". The conversation got around to holidays and
why St. Patrick's Day wasn't celebrated in the Virgin Islands,
when so many other holidays were. Something had to be done!
Within minutes, the first St. Patrick's Day Parade was born.
