BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) -- St. Patrick's Day and parades. It's a combination that goes back decades.

Buffalo will host two parades this weekend, the 17th Annual 'Old Neighborhood' Parade on Saturday, and the annual parade that marches down Delaware Avenue on Sunday.

The old neighborhood parade will kick-off at Noon on Saturday, March 13th from the Valley Community Center near South Park and Elk Street, and winds through the Old First Ward neighborhoods.

Sunday's parade will kick-off from Niagara Square at City Hall at 2:00 p.m., and march up Delaware Avenue to North Street.

Look for the Eyewitness News LIVE EYE TRUCK Sunday with Meteorologist Aaron Mentkowski, and Al Leight shooting video that you can later see exclusively on wkbw.com.
