Saint Augustine: Home of the Oldest St Patrick's Day Parade in the USA!
Top of the morning to ya!
Did you know that Saint Augustine boasts the oldest known Saint Patrick’s Day Parade.
It even predates Boston, New York and even Ireland.
In 1600, led by Irish vicar Ricardo Artur- (born Richard Arthur-he was after all an Irishman in a Spanish city), St Augustine held the first recorded St Patrick’s Day celebration.
A year later in St Augustine once again, was the world’s first recorded St Patrick’s Day Parade.
Now after 424 years, the celebration continues as the parade winds through the Historic downtown area before returning to the St Augustine Celtic music festival at Francis Field.
Celebrating all clans, in the oldest parade in the oldest city in the nation.
Green beers for everyone, right along Route 1.
