The LGBTQ+ community makes history in the Bronx by being welcomed and marching in the 24th annual Throggs Neck St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday, March 13, 2022. For the first time in the history of the Bronx the LGBTQ+ community under the Lavender & Green Alliance banner will march on East Tremont and Lafayette Avenues being welcomed by the hospitable community of Throggs Neck.
