NEWARK, NJ — A long-running Saint Patrick’s Day Parade will return to Newark for 2023 with an updated route, organizers say.

The 88th annual Newark St. Patrick's Day Parade will take place on Friday, March 10. Opening ceremonies and parade review will begin at noon. See the route and learn more here.

According to organizers:

“The parade will form on Mulberry Street south of Raymond Blvd. Kickoff at 1 p.m. sharp. This is a different formation point from prior years due to traffic considerations at the Prudential Center. The parade will proceed as in the past from the starting point north of Mulberry Street, turning on Center St. by the reviewing stand, past NJPAC, crossing Broad St onto Central Avenue, past the Central Avenue/Halsey Street reviewing stand to Washington Street, ending at Harriet Tubman Square (formerly Washington Park.) After the parade is completed, we will reassemble at the Central Avenue/Halsey Street reviewing stand to present awards to our school band contest winners.”

The parade typically features marching bands, bagpipers and dancers, as well as cultural and community groups. The parade is typically held annually on the Friday before St. Patrick's Day.
