Binghamton's flag raising for Saint Patrick's Day
BINGHAMTON, NY (WIVT/WBGH) – Binghamton's city hall was teeming with green, orange and white this morning, to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. Binghamton Mayor Jared Kraham joined members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians to raise the Irish flag. Kraham talked about his own Irish heritage, saying his ancestors immigrated to America in 1859 and once worked as the fire chief in Cooperstown. After raising the flag, everyone in attendance sang the Irish national anthem, 'A Soldiers Song.' Kraham says there's never been as small a country that's made as big of an impact as Ireland. 'The sons and daughters of Erin came to our shores seeking a better life. These courageous immigrants built families here, they build strong communities and they helped forge Binghamton's future and our nation's future,' says Kraham. The AOH is hosting its annual Saint Patty's Day celebration tonight at 148 Main Street in Binghamton until 9 p.m. Featuring live music by the Shambles. Kraham also encourages people to go out tonight, and responsibly support their local Irish pubs. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
