HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) – Huntsville is gearing up to celebrate 46 years of St. Patrick's Day festivities in the city. The Ellen McAnelly Memorial St. Patrick's Day Parade returns to downtown Huntsville at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. 'The Irish, Irish-Americans, Irish-enthusiasts, people who are Irish for the day, we love everybody at the St. Patrick's Day parade,' said parade director and Irish Society of North Alabama member Lisa Bollinger. This year's event will have more than 90 participating groups, including specialty car groups, a band, horses, floats, pirates, and the leprechaun on a trike, who has been in every parade since 1979.
