Big Plans for Virtual ‘St Pats for All Parade,’ as Covid Forces Celebrations Online

The annual St Pats for All Parade will take place virtually Sunday, a marked contrast to last year’s event that saw a record number of participants march through the streets of Sunnyside and Woodside.

The parade – which celebrates Ireland through a theme of inclusivity and diversity – is now in its 22^nd year and organizers have been forced to host the event online due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.

The virtual event will kick off at 2 p.m. and will last around two hours.

The event will consist of a program of pre-recorded music and dance performances from artists based in New York City and Ireland followed by messages from elected officials such as Council Member Danny Dromm and Congress Member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
