Binghamton St. Patrick's Day Parade is almost here
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – One of Binghamton's biggest events of the year will take to the streets this weekend to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day.
This Saturday is the first day of March, and the City of Binghamton's annual Saint Patty's Day Parade.
Binghamton's Mayor Jared Kraham held a news conference Thursday afternoon alongside the parade's planning committee.
The parade itself begins at 1:30 at the corner of Fayette and Court Street and continues down Court Street. The parade route is just about a mile in total.
There will be bagpipers, Irish dancers, decorative floats, pipe bands, and after five years, the return of the Avalon String Band from Philadelphia.
Kraham says, especially with the recent death of the Binghamton Firefighter, JR Gaudet, the parade brings the community together unlike anything else.

'When the parade happens this year, and the Binghamton Fire Department are marching through the streets, I want to make sure that every member of our community shows them support, shows them our love, our dedication and lets them know, even though it's been a very dark time, it's been a very difficult time, this community has their back,' said Kraham.
There are festivities all day long, including the annual post parade party at Seton Catholic Central.
Kraham reiterated that the event is family friendly, and that Binghamton Police will be stationed along the parade route for safety.
