The New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade is one of our city’s greatest traditions. The first parade was held on March 17, 1762 - fourteen years before the Declaration of Independence was adopted – and has marched its way to the largest parade in the world today!
The Parade starts at 44th Street at 11:00 am and is held every March 17th, except when March 17th falls on a Sunday, it is celebrated the day before, Saturday the 16th due to religious observances.
The parade marches up Fifth Avenue past St. Patrick's Cathedral at 50th Street all the way up past the American Irish Historical Society at 83rd and the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 83rd Street to 86th Street, where the parade finishes at around 4:30 - 5:00 pm.
Your best bet is to leave your cars at home and take an MTA train or bus to New York City to join the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. Some of the best viewing spots are on the upper steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and 86th street, where the parade ends and the marchers disperse. This is an especially great spot if you have children with you would like to meet some of the many police officers, firefighters, and other participants!
