Canada's oldest St. Patrick's Parade celebrated its 201st edition Sunday in downtown Montreal, marching down to Maisonouv Boulevard. Despite heavy snow, the event fell on the third day of spring, but winter weather stuck around with a wind chill of 9 degrees below zero Celsius, testing everyone out. There, participants like Kiltwang bagpipers and drummers brave the cold without missing a beat, while spectators bundled up and lined the streets in. Solid numbers, even if some thought crowds were a bit thinner than usual. 92 groups joined in, featuring marching bands, music floats, and those massive iconic statues that always draw cheers, keeping the energy high. For over an hour until after 130 in the afternoon, as both headed home on public transit, Metro cars turned sea green with parade goers, wrapping up another chilly but spirited tradition in the city.
