Broadway and Beekman Avenue were lined with crowds waving and cheering on the procession in their festive Irish gear - shamrock headbands and green Mardi Gras beads were favorites.

Grand Marshal Kitty Geisler led the parade. Local police and fire departments, bagpipe and drum bands, schools, community organizations marched through town, and even the legendary Headless Horseman made an appearance.

Check out the slideshow for highlights from the parade.
