BOSTON — Thousands of people dressed in green or wearing shamrocks will fill South Boston for the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade.
The parade begins Sunday afternoon and travels through Boston’s historically Irish neighborhood. It has been a tradition for more than 100 years.
Boston police hope new measures will reduce the public drinking they say has become increasingly prevalant at the parade. Police say excessive drinking has led to fights and other problems.
The police department will add up to 200 officers to the 400 they had at last year’s parade. Two officers will stand by every liquor store and bar along the route to curb underage drinking.
