Crowds gathered along the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland, for the city’s St Patrick’s Day parade on Friday, March 17.

According to local reports, the theme for this year’s event, which was created by community-focused arts collective Beat Carnival, was “voices of Belfast” and was billed as a “celebration of Belfast’s music heritage from pop to punk and traditional to disco,” the report said.
