Syracuse St. Patrick's Parade
- Syracuse St. Patrick's Parade
The Syracuse St. Patrick's Parade was founded by Nancy Duffy in 1983 in Syracuse, New York.[ [http://www.syracusestpatricksparade.org Syracuse St. Patrick's Parade] , official committee Web site.] She led a small group of volunteers in putting together the first parade on March 19th, 1983. The parade remains a major annual event, typically drawing an estimated crowd of up to 10,000 marchers and 125,000 spectators gathering along South Salina Street each year on the usually cold and snowy Saturday in March. She considered her greatest legacy to be the Syracuse St. Patrick's Parade. Through the years the Parade has become Central New York's largest one-day event and "the largest St. Patrick's Parade, per capita, in the world."fact|date=July 2008 Nancy served as the parade committee's first president, and continued as a guiding force even after stepping down in 1997.]References
