NEW YORK -- Large crowds are expected to line Staten Island streets for an inclusive St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday. This will be the first time the borough hosts a second St. Patrick's Day parade, which welcomes all to participate. The original Staten Island parade, held on March 3 this year, denies LGBTQ participants from marching under their banner.Related story: Estimated 2 million attend St.
Patrick's Day Parade in ManhattanFor years, parade organizers denied applications from groups like the Pride Center of Staten Island and the Gay Officers Action League. This year, Mayor Eric Adams authorized an additional parade that is LGBTQ friendly in the borough. The larger parade in Manhattan lifted its ban on LGBTQ groups marching in 2014. Residents and business owners said it's good to have a celebration where all are welcome.
