Lower Burrell celebrates St. Patrick's Day Parade successfully

The Lower Burrell St. Patrick's Day Parade took place on March 15, featuring a record number of participants and candy. The event included over 100 vehicles, lasting about 30 minutes despite rainy weather. Hundreds of spectators dressed in green lined Leechburg Road to enjoy the fifth annual celebration. Organizers noted the parade's growth, highlighting a more festive atmosphere compared to last year, which was marked by community mourning. The parade began at Stewart Elementary School and ended at Hillcrest Shopping Center. Many attendees continued the celebration at Mogie’s Irish Pub, honoring the late David “Mogie” Magill, a key figure in starting the parade.
