It was a sea of green and gold in St. Paul on Monday as thousands gathered to celebrate the city's annual St. Patrick's Day parade. "It's beautiful to see everyone wearing green — no matter what your nationality or where you're from," Dan Kelly said.

Police charged 44 people with 59 total citations and crimes over the course of the city’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in 2023. In 2022, a total of 27 citations were issued. That parade was the first to happen in two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

St. Patrick’s Day, the annual celebration of all things Irish, is being marked in cities across the country on Monday with boisterous parades and celebrations. New York City hosts one of the largest and oldest parades in the United States.
