A Tradition of Celebration:
Philadelphia's connection to St. Patrick's Day dates back to 1771, making it one of the oldest and most cherished celebrations in the city. The parade, organized by the St. Patrick's Day Observance Association since 1952, continues to honor the legacy of St. Patrick and the vibrant Irish-American community in Philadelphia.
With over 250 years of history, the parade is not just a march but a testament to the enduring spirit and contributions of the Irish in Philadelphia. From George Washington's encouragement of Irish American patriots to the modern-day festivities, this event is a showcase of cultural pride, remembrance, and joyous celebration.
