Scenes from Boston: St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2022
St. Patrick’s Day parade finally returned to Boston after a 2-year hiatus on March 20, 2022 — three days following the actual date of March 17. Paraders and spectators dressed up in green to celebrate this Christian feast day in South Boston.
Boston University News Service photo editor Mild Laohapoonrungsee captured the festivity of the parade which started near the Broadway T Station and wrapped up at Andrew Square in South Boston.
