St. Patrick's Day parade

St. Patrick's Day Parade

Saturday, March 15 | 10 AM
Downtown Pittsburgh
No ticket required for entry

With around 20% of Pittsburgh's population proudly claiming Irish roots, it’s no wonder the Steel City throws one of the biggest St. Patrick’s Day bashes in the country. Every year, Irish dancers, marching bands, military groups, community organizations, and even Punxsutawney Phil himself strut down Grant Street, rain, snow, or shine. What started over 150 years ago as a celebration of St. Patrick has evolved into a full-on citywide party where “everyone is Irish for the day.” So, grab your green (or black and gold) and join the fun—starting with mass at Old St. Patrick’s and ending in a sea of green along the parade route.
