This family-friendly parade is smaller and more neighborhood-focused than the downtown St. Pat’s Parade. It’s a celebration of Celtic and Gaelic customs including food, music and dance.
The parade was established to promote American Irish Celtic and Gaelic traditions as well as raise awareness for community charitable organizations.
The Northwestside St. Patrick’s Day Parade started with 200 participants and spectators in the Norwood Park neighborhood and has grown to 50,000 attendees today.
