DENVER (KDVR) — Everyone and their dogs put on something green and gathered in downtown Denver on Saturday for the 62nd annual St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Sponsored by FOX31 and Colorado’s Very Own Channel 2, the parade included floats, veterans, businesses, fire rescue agencies and first responders, bagpipes, marching bands, jazz bands, dancers and more.

But those in the audience were just as festive as those who marched in the parade.

The dogs were especially festive. Owners made sure their fur babies were up to snuff for the parade.
