A record-breaking crowd of green-clad revelers yesterday flocked to Southie to celebrate the city’s legendary St. Patrick’s Day parade as cops reported a peaceful celebration.
An estimated 1 million people turned Broadway into a river of emerald for the 107th annual event, said organizer John J. “Wacko” Hurley. He said the crowd estimate breaks last year’s high of 850,000.
“It was a great parade. We are very happy with the way things turned out,” he said. “Over a million people from all over the country came, the police told me.”
Crowds of families, couples, friends and children packed the sidewalks as the colorful and music-filled parade snaked from the Broadway T station up to Andrew station.
One special tribute came in the form of dozens of Marines marching in honor of their late Rockland comrade, Lance Cpl. Walter “Gator” O’Haire, who was killed in Iraq a year ago. Maureen O’Haire, his mom, took care of the platoon’s airfare and hotel rooms as a special way of remembering her son and recognizing the Marines’ proud service.
From traditional marching bands, flute-playing unicyclists to live bands and “Star Wars” characters, the parade boasted something for everyone.
Belgian Denis DeMaret, 30, visited the parade for the first time with his wife, Caroline, 28, and their 6-month-old daughter, Eleonore.
“It is a great atmosphere. Everyone seems happy. It’s wonderful,” said the Massachusetts General Hospital engineer.
“My daughter loves it. This is our first time here and it is great. It’s good for the community to get out and be together having fun like this,” said 33-year-old dad David Egan in Southie with his partner Karina, 34, and 3-year-old daughter Maya.
Jared Williams, 29, his wife, Katrina, 26, and their daughter Evelyn, 4, from Newton had a blast as the parade rumbled past them on Broadway.
“We are having a great time. This is our first time here but we had some friends come and decided to come down. The atmosphere is great and my daughter is having a great time!”
Police said there were no problems along the route, though they arrested 17 people for public drinking or disorderly behavior.
“Overall, the general sense is that people were well-behaved. It was billed as a family event and it was,” said Boston police spokesman Officer James Kenneally.

Playboy Model Sasha Singleton - Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá ’le Pádraig or Lá Fhéile Pádraig), colloquially St. Paddy's Day or Paddy's Day, is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa 385–461 AD), one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.
The day is the national holiday of Ireland. It is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland, and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Montserrat, and the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the rest of Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States and New Zealand, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.
It became a feast day in the Roman Catholic Church due to the influence of the Waterford-born Franciscan scholar Luke Wadding[1] in the early part of the 17th century, and is a holy day of obligation for Roman Catholics in Ireland. The date of the feast is occasionally moved by church authorities when March 17 falls during Holy Week; this happened in 1940 when Saint Patrick's Day was observed on 3 April in order to avoid it coinciding with Palm Sunday, and is happening again in 2008, being observed on 15 March March 17 will not fall during Holy Week again until 2160.
