This year, on Sunday, March 25, the 17th annual St. Patrick's Parade will take place in Manchester! We hope to hold the best parade yet.
These days, the St. Patrick's Parade is the largest community event in Manchester. Every year, up to 70,000 people in the greater Manchester area witness the Parade, either lining its one-mile course along Elm Street or viewing at their homes through the live broadcasting. People cheer bagpipers, unicyclists, clowns, dancers, veterans' groups, high school bands and marching units of all types.
Many are not aware of the fact that putting on the parade has a cost of over $50,000. This parade is a privately supported event, made possible by many generous donors. As the parade continues to grow and the expenses continue to increase, so does our need for donors.
If you cannot attend the breakfast, please consider sending a check made out to "Saint Patrick's Parade Committee" to:
