Every year, thousands of people gather in the streets of Seattle and partake in the St. Patrick's Day Parade, celebrating the Irish heritage in Seattle. The streets are filled with people crowing to see small floats and children parading down the road, waving to the audience like royalty. After the wonderful parade, the day ends with closing ceremonies at the famous Seattle Center (home of the Space Needle)!
