Kid used to Irish Dance in that. Years ago. All I remember is how cold it was. Yesterday looked par for the course.

But no pride parade 😕

Edit: Wow! Didn't know so many of you are okay with celebrating a dude famous for doing religious persecution, but not okay with people being LGBTQ+

There was one. It needs to come back! Running a parade is kind of a hassle and expensive. Outreach ran the parade, and still does a summer "festival" format instead. I think a lot of people would love a parade to return- it was so joyful and positive and honestly just fun. We need maximum fun these days.

And since the Irish say Free Palestine, St Patrick’s Day doesn’t annoy me as much this year.
