Old Town is a fitting location for such an event as you can find three Irish Pubs, a Dublin Chipper, and several other establishments that turn Irish for the month lining the one mile stretch of King Street.

In honor of today's parade, Wendy and I will be live tweeting with photos and our personal narrative of the event. So if you can't make it down to Old Town for the dog show, car show, and parade, we hope you'll follow along below (new posts should load automatically) or on our Twitter page.

So sit back and enjoy the show :-)
