Happy St. Patrick's Day to All ! 

After heartfelt consideration and serious conversation with officials from the City of Philadelphia, the St. Patrick's Day Observance Association has decided to cancel the parade and all events related to the 2020 Philadelphia Saint Patrick's Day Parade. This decision was made with significant input from civic and parade participants. While this decision is disappointing, we acted with a general concern for the well-being of everyone. In days to come, we will continue with great enthusiasm to plan the 250th Saint Patrick's Day Parade on March 14, 2021 celebrating Saint Patrick, our Grand Marshal Michael J. Bradley, Jr., and the distinguished members of the Ring of Honor.

Dear Friends:
The Officers and the Board of Directors cordially invite your organization to participate in our display of Irish Culture in honor of Saint Patrick - The Patron Saint of Ireland - The Annual Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day Parade. This year's parade will be Sunday March 15, 2020. (not on St. Patrick’s Day March 17th).

The Grand Marshal of the 250th Annual 2020 parade is:  
Michael J. Bradley Jr.

The Theme of the 2020 parade is: 250 Years of Faith, Family, Friendship and Heritage.

March 15^th is NOT Daylight Saving Time, SO IT WILL NOT AFFECT THE PARADE THIS YEAR.
