Bucks County St. Patrick's Day Parade Is March 12

Mark your calendars: The 28th annual Bucks County St. Patrick’s Day Parade is set for Saturday, March 12.

Irish Dance instructor Maggie Lorady will lead the 2016 parade as its Grand Marshal.

“I am honored to be named Grand Marshal this year, particularly considering this year’s theme, Honor the Police, since my son is a police detective and I proudly support all members of law enforcement,” Lorady said.

The parade will step off at 10:30 am from St. Joseph the Worker Church in Levittown, and will proceed along New Falls Road towards Conwell-Egan Catholic High School in Fairless Hills, according to organizers.

Organizers expect more than 2,000 thousand marchers to participate in this year’s parade; including Irish dancers, pipe bands, marching bands, string bands, local law enforcement and emergency responders, veterans, sports teams, local businesses, charitable organizations, St. Patrick himself, and many more.

Before the parade, there will be an 8 a.m. mass at St. Frances Cabrini Church on S. Oxford Valley Road in Fairless Hills.
