How would you like to spend Sunday afternoon dancing jigs to Irish pipes? Or marching with a group of baton-twirling cheerleaders? Or making friends with leprechauns?

They'll all be there at the St. Patrick's Day Parade along Omotesando this weekend -- and so will thousands of other people as well. The parade, which is held every year, is a whole day of Irish-themed fun and games -- but you don't have to be Irish to take part.

All kinds of paraders are welcome -- four-legged ones as well, like the Irish setters with green ribbons around their necks. You can take part, too: Stand along the road this Sunday and wave like crazy as the parade comes down the street -- or step forward and join in.
