Statement of the
Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day Observance Association
Issued January 5, 2021
After
heartfelt consideration, the St. Patrick's Day Observance Association has made
the decision to cancel the 2021 Philadelphia Saint Patrick's Day Parade and all
events related to the parade. This decision was made with significant
consideration to the challenges and concerns that we continue to face with
regards to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite
our love and excitement for our Parade and celebration of St. Patrick, the
safety and well-being of organizers, volunteers, participants, and spectators
is our number one priority at this time.
We
will continue with great enthusiasm to plan the 250th Saint Patrick's Day
Parade for March 13, 2022 where we will celebrate Saint Patrick, our Grand
Marshal Michael J. Bradley, Jr., and the distinguished members of our Ring of
Honor. Our Parade Theme is 250 Years of Faith, Family, Friendship and Heritage.
We
will attempt to partner with Fox 29 to develop and broadcast a special parade
program for all to enjoy. More details to come on this.
Thank
you for your understanding, and have a Happy, Healthy and Holy New Year!
Colin Patrick Bradley
Parade Director,
Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day Parade
STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS US ALL !
