Park Slope hosts 42nd annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade this Sunday
Irish eyes will be smiling in Brooklyn this weekend as Park Slope hosts its 42nd Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday. In fact, it might be the next best thing to celebrating back home in the Erin Isle.
This is the borough’s first St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and this year it’s dedicated to the memories of all those who lost their lives during World War II in service to our country. The parade is also held in remembrance of the heroes and victims who lost their lives on 9/11.
This year’s grand marshal is James Houlihan, owner of Farrell’s Bar and Grill in Windsor Terrace. Houlihan has been with Farrell’s for 51 years. He and his two fellow bartenders bought the bar after the death of owner Eddie Farrell.
