Newest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in America a huge success - VIDEO

I have many happy memories of Woodlawn, even though I never lived there. Foe about 8 years in the 80s and early 90s, I attended many Gaeilge classes, céilís, meetings and other Gaelic League functions at the Woodlawn Presbyterian Church hall. In those days, Irish stepdancing was also taught in that hall and bagpipers practiced their playing there, all with the kind permission of Rev. Campbell Sheil, a Belfast native.

Yep! I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nationalist Ireland isn't dead and gone or with O'Leary in the grave. It's with Irish-America in The States. As a south-Dubliner Leinster-Irish, I envy you guys your cultural pride, which seems to have been airbrushed from the unconscious of the Irish-Ireland by press/media censorship of Irish militant republicanism. Come on the Yanks!" Every time.

Fantastic !!

Great neighborhood. Friendly like some of the old Irish immigrant neighborhoods in NYC, but more prosperous.

I enjoyed watching that YT clip of the parade. It looked very well organised and inclusive, both Irish born and Irish American celebrating together as one. Yonkers looks like a very nice city as well.
