NORWALK, CT — The Norwalk St. Patrick's Day parade will return March 12 after being canceled two years in a row due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis. In an announcement Monday, the Norwalk Police Emerald Society said the parade will begin at 11 a.m. at Veteran's Park, proceed up Washington Street and onto North Main Street, then end at Pine Street. According to Police Lt. Terrance Blake, the Emerald Society's vice president, a ceremony will immediately follow the parade under the tent at O'Neill's Irish Pub and Restaurant, located at 93 North Main Street. The parade will feature the music of the Fairfield County Police Pipes and Drums. An annual city tradition, the parade was canceled in 2020 and 2021 in light of the ongoing coronavirus crisis. In an announcement last year, parade committee officials noted canceling the event for a second year was decided "with the safety of all participants and attendees in mind."
