The biggest weekend of the year in Holyoke is almost here.

They break down the traditions, community spirit and behind-the-scenes work that goes into one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in the country. From the iconic road race to the massive parade that brings thousands to the streets of Holyoke, the guests share what makes the weekend special and what people should know if they’re planning to attend.
