Alexandria Celebrates 39th Annual St. Patrick’s Day

Alexandria was all green on Saturday with dogs, bagpipes and Irish dancers for the 39th annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration and dog show. The event is held every year by the nonprofit organization Ballyshaners. It is an effort to preserve Irish history while bringing the community together. Kelly Grant, who works with the dog-friendly coworking organization ALX community, said, “We are really all about the community, so this is just another way for us to have fun.”

According to wtop.com, “She brought along River, dressed as clover, and Eric, who rocked his best impression of a sheep. “In Old Town, one out of every four residents is a dog,” she added. Hilary Walsh and her pup Scooterbug came from Hagerstown and were decked out for the event. “I love the Irish dancers and the bagpipes. This is our first time bringing a dog, so we’re really excited,” she said.”

As per wtop.com, “Each year, the parade brings out more than 2,000 participants, including dog rescue groups, drum bands, and historical reenactors. If you missed this year’s festivities, be sure to arrive early to grab a spot along the parade route next year.”
