The Elm City is a sea of green during the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday.
The St. Patrick's Day parade is one of the most celebrated events in New Haven.
More than 100 groups are marching in the parade.
Every year, there's a special street naming tradition. The city renames a few streets in memory of someone who served the Greater New Haven Irish community in a positive way. This year, three people were honored for their impact.
