Houston's St. Patrick's Day Parade is rooted firmly in the city's heritage. The first parades date back to the 1880's when the parade started in "Irish Town" by old St. Patrick's Church. Flags, bands and marchers would march to Market Square for a day of fun, games, music, food and drink. The people spilled in and out of the various pubs in Market Square. In 1960, radio personalities, Tim Nolan and Bob Bryant announced a St. Patrick's Day Parade.‍
