An annual tradition: The early morning St. Patrick’s Day parade in Healdsburg
A happy horde of pre-dawn revelers chased a solo bagpiper around the Healdsburg Plaza this St. Patrick's Day, March 17. And they called it a parade. In fact, it was the official 23rd annual B&B Lounge St. Patrick's Day Parade replete with a queen, horses, dogs, green-haired Rotarians, sleepy babies, boisterous imbibers, some of Healdsburg's finest and hundreds of less-refined emerald-clothed citizenry. Coffee appeared to be the favored drink on the chilly Saturday morning, but a few pints of Guinness and Irish whiskeys were shared as well. The revelers, as has become a mischievous custom, blared horns and whistles to wake and startle the wine country guests of the plaza-side Hotel Healdsburg, who were spied in their white robes from their balconies unsure of what the street mob below was up to. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all.
