Cleveland’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade Kickoff March 17, 2025

Put on your best green and head over to St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Monday, March 17, 2025, where the day’s ceremonies, hosted by the United Irish Societies of Greater Cleveland, will begin at 1:30 p.m. The annual parade kicks off at 2:04 p.m.

This year’s theme honors St. Brigid, Ireland’s patroness saint. Parade participants include Irish dancers from various dance academies, including Leneghan Academy of Irish Dance and The Smyth School of Irish Dance. No parade would be complete without the contribution of our high school marching bands or the sound of the pipes and drums. Both the Cleveland Police Pipes & Drums and the Cleveland Firefighters Memorial Pipes and Drums will be there, along with many other clubs and associations from our community. You will also have the opportunity to experience the beautiful custom of weaving crosses for protection and blessings.
