Kathleen Cooper, around 1:00 p, will sing the national anthems of Ireland and the United States.m. with the parade kicking off shortly after.

In addition, the parade will consist of civic officials, parade committee and honorees, safety forces, honor guards, Irish organizations, marching units, drill teams, floats, pipe bands, and school bands.
