Vero got its green on at the 14th annual St. Patrick’s Parade along Ocean Drive, with green-clad fans lining the parade route from Flamevine to Azalea Lane last Saturday morning to watch as parade participants from pixies to pooches paid tribute to their Irish culture and heritage.
Marchers in the short but sweet parade include bagpiper Michael Hyde, jeweler John Michael Matthews as St. Patrick (the patron saint of Ireland), school, military, law enforcement, emergency and governmental groups, and families displaying their Celtic pride through flags and banners.
