BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Old Neighborhood St. Patrick's Day Parade rolled out in Buffalo's Old First Ward on Saturday. The 30th anniversary celebration featured bands, floats, local fire and police departments and Irish dancers.

The parade has become a beloved tradition in the community, drawing residents together to honor Buffalo's rich Irish heritage.

"It's the greatest day of the year. I've been coming for 25-30 years," Cindy Strough said. "It's so much fun with my family and friends, everyone's happy!"
