Salt Lake City’s Irish community celebrated the 41st annual St. Patrick’s Day parade with crowds lining up to take in the festivities.

Marching bands, Irish dancers, bagpipes and a sea of green moved along 200 South, starting at 500 East on Saturday morning en route to State Street where the Siamsa festivities kept the fun going at the Gallivan Center. Cool temperatures and plenty of sunshine were a perfect match as the luck of the Irish came through after a week that saw more snow.
