Thousands Flock To Oak Park Avenue For Tinley Irish Parade: Photos

TINLEY PARK, IL — It wasn't hard to spot smiles in the crowd along Oak Park Avenue Sunday, March 5. With the sun beaming and bagpipes wailing, the street was practically painted green with parade-goers taking it all in, and loving every second of it.

The parade—which included nearly 80 floats, performances and walking groups—seemed to go on indefinitely, as the crowd cheered and grabbed at candy and goodies tossed their way.
