BOSTON, MA-- Crowds flocked the streets of South Boston Sunday to celebrate their Irish heritage during the 2025 St. Patrick's Day Parade.

Thousands of people lined up behind metal barricades while donning their best green attire and carrying Irish flags to celebrate. Confetti rained down while floats made their way through the 3.5 mile parade route on the South Boston streets. Some spectators booed as colonial re-enactors wearing British tricorn hats and other period garb marched past.
