This is the type of picture the news likes to run in noting parades.
Well, when the corona virus pandemic was recognised in Ohio, two years ago, the first big event in Cleveland cancelled was the Patrick Parade. The theme and line ups were used for 2022, note below. Because some people were still uncertain about this year, some crowd favorites were not registered to march. The official temperature at the aeroport was 72°F, about ten degrees cooler downtown. It was a sunny, and pleasant day. I suppose there was a little pent up interest in the crowd. It was on a Thursday, a weekend day generally gets more people. Near the beginning of the parade, around St. Peter's, the crowd was thick when often it is sparse. There were no thin spots in the route. There were no reports of hooliganism about Public Square, which in recent years there was. The crowd was happy.

The castle stage scenery has made several appearances over the years. In the crenelations there were puffins.
And since this is an Irish parade, people want bagpipes. Supra: Local 93 Cleveland Fire
The world is shocked and appalled over the invasion of Ukraine. A few Ukrainian flags were in the parade.
Slava Ukraini!Horses are great to have in parades. Here is Willi (sp?) from Lake Metroparks, he has been in several parades. Three other draft horses were part of his team.
