The Ballyshaners enjoyed hosting our 34th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in Alexandria on March 7. We hope that the spectators enjoyed it as much as we did. Our thanks go out to all of the groups who drove, marched, danced and walked in the parade. Key thanks go to the Alexandria Police Department, the Sheriff's Department, and staff from the city's Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities for managing the event's logistics. We are especially grateful to Transportation and Environmental Services staff for clearing the snow from the streets, making the parade possible. The Ballyshaners also extend special appreciation to King Street Blues for opening early, serving as a headquarters for the parade staff and volunteers.
We look forward to bringing you next year's parade, Saturday, March 5, 2016.

Chairman, Ballyshaners
