View our photos of the 44th Annual Washington D.C. St. Patrick’s Parade from Sunday, March 15, by clicking on the photo icons below. One of the parade’s missions is to celebrate the Irish culture in America. The popular annual event features floats, marching bands, Irish step dancers and antique fire engines. We were also welcomed by Monsignor Salvatore A. Criscuolo of Saint Patrick’s Church to take pictures as Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington, celebrated mass to honor the patron saint of Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17.
