Wearin' of the Green Parade
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA
3/13/2010Description
This Louisiana-style St. Patrick's Day parade is complete with more than 90 floats with an Irish theme, marching bands, and bagpipers. Parades in Southern Louisiana are Mardi-Gras style with beads and cups and different kinds of 'throws' being tossed to the crowds. The two and three quarter-mile parade route is painted with green shamrocks. Rolling though the beautiful "Hundred Oaks" area of the city, thousands of parade goers make it a family day with huge parties in the area. Local food establishments are open and catering to the revelers.
