The Greater New Haven Saint Patrick’s Day Parade is the most significant cultural event conducted in the State of Connecticut each year. First started in 1842 the parade attracts between 250,000 to 300,000 people annually to the streets of New Haven making it the largest single day event in the state, the largest Saint Patrick’s Day parade between New York and Boston, and the sixth oldest parade in the country. In addition to spectators representing a broad ethnic spectrum, marchers come from as far as Ireland to participate. The Greater New Haven Saint Patrick’s Day Parade is recognized by the Library of Congress as a“Local Legacy”.

The parade itself represents the culmination of a year long, totally volunteer, effort by a committee working under the banner of the Associated Irish Societies, Inc. a non stock, not for profit corporation, recognized as a charitable and civic organization by the Internal Revenue Service under IRC 501 (c ) (3) . The organization is open to all people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. That said the “Parade Committee”, as it is commonly known, does much more than merely put on a great parade. Each year the Parade Committee works with various other charitable and civic organizations to promote a better quality of life in the Greater New Haven area.

Every year the parade includes marchers from area schools, local charity organizations and a variety of ethnic groups.
