The annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade filled New Haven’s streets Sunday with music, spectacle, and high stepping, including from LBS Spinnerz Arts fire breathers (top photo), Penny Farthing bicycle riders from Freewheeling Connecticut (middle), and (at bottom) Woodland String Band, which was founded in 1926 and made it all the way up from Philly.
The Ebony Horsewomen were among the paraders …
… as was the Irish Wolfhound (with the Knights of Saint Patrick), who proved a hit with the crowd.
Among those wearing the green by the Green were Doug Hausladen (sometimes known as Downtown Doug) …
… and the Lancraft Fife & Drum Corps.
Seen in the crowd: Tamu and Winfred Rembert (Junior), son of celebrated New Haven artist Winfred Rembert.
The New Haven Pizza Club made me hungry.
Those storm troopers on Chapel Street? They came courtesy of Connecticut Star Wars Club.
Reaction to the Connecticut Star Wars Club was rowdy.
