OCEAN CITY - While all who participated in and attended the 35th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Ocean City on Saturday were winners, the Delmarva Irish-American Club recognized several entries with special awards.
Despite gray skies and cooler temperatures, well over 100,000 revelers young and old crammed into Ocean City on Saturday for the 35th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the second largest in Maryland. Traffic started building all morning and by the time the parade began at noon, thousands found their spots along Coastal Highway and the party headquarters at 45th Street, turning the resort into a sea of green and a festival of song, dance, music and revelry.
From modest beginnings in 1980, when the fledgling DIAC first conceived the idea of a St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Ocean City, the annual event has grown to become the second largest of its kind in Maryland. Just a few vehicles and a handful of participants marched down Coastal Highway in that very first parade, but the event now includes around 125 entries.
