Denver's St. Patrick's Day Parade

Bellco's march through Lodo gets the green flowing

St. Patrick's Day may not be until Tuesday, the city celebrated early on Saturday.

Denver's 47th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade kicked off at 10 a.m. and featured about 10,000 marchers and 210 entries.

The route started at 27th and Blake Streets in LoDo and continued west down Blake to 17th Street, north to Wynkoop Street, east to 19th Street, north to Wewata Street and then east to the Coors Field parking lot.

Organizers estimate between 210,000 and 250,000 people attended this year's parade. They attribute the numbers, which increased from recent years, to the great weather on Saturday.
