How to Watch the New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade
The New York Times
The parade will be held on a Saturday this year, the day before St. Patrick’s Day, in accordance with religious observances.
The New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade will make its traditional march up Fifth Avenue on Saturday, the 263rd iteration of one of the world’s longest-running parades.
St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Sunday this year, so the parade will take place on March 16, the day before the holiday, “in order to observe the Sunday Sabbath,” organizers said.
Marchers will start heading up Fifth Avenue at 11 a.m., led by the parade’s grand marshal, Margaret C. Timoney, the chief executive of Heineken U.S.A.
Around 150,000 marchers and 2 million spectators are expected at the parade, according to its website.
“This parade that started in 1762 has survived a war of revolution, World War I, World War II, the Great Depression, and the pandemics of 1918 and 2020,” Hilary Beirne, a founding chairman of the parade’s foundation, told NBC.
