St. Patrick's Day in New Bern



Many cities across the U.S. host a St. Patrick's Day Parade and New Bern is no exception. There were floats, bands and lots of green everywhere! The parade lasted about 45 minutes and coursed through the streets of downtown New Bern with crowds of people cheering and waving green hats. The photograph, curtesy Liz Bowles, Charlie Hall and the Sun Journal Newspaper, depicts one of the floats in the parade. It is topped with children from the St. Paul's Education Center who appear enjoying the ride tremendously. More details of the parade can be found on www.newbernsj.com.
After the parade, there were plenty of pubs offering green ale and music, The Chelsea Restaurant in downtown New Bern hosted Irish singer Jennifer Licko at 2pm. For more details visit on the singer visit www.jenniferlicko.com
