About the Allentown St. Patrick’s Day Parade

The first known St. Patrick's Parade was held in Allentown in the late 1860's.  Over a century later, in 1955, what we know as the modern day Allentown St. Patrick’s Parade was organized by business and political leaders through the St. Patrick’s Day Observance Society.  The Parade ran from 12th and Hamilton Streets to the Immaculate Conception Church on Ridge Avenue.

The Parade will celebrate its 56th Anniversary on March 17, 2013.  For more information or to participate in the 2013 Allentown St. Patrick’s Parade go to www.allentownstpatricksdayparade.com.
