Thousands of people are expected to celebrate St. Patrick's Day on the streets of Stamford Saturday.

A local cultural group is inviting the public to come out and enjoy the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

"The Irish American Cultural Society of Stamford is holding the St. Patrick's Day parade. It's going to step off at 2 o'clock in Downtown Stamford. We are very, very excited. Over 80 multi-cultural groups will be marching in the parade — and the greatest thing is, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day," said Susan Carnes, with the Irish American Cultural Society of Stamford.

The Grand Marshal's Dinner took place at the Stamford Italian Center Friday night.
