Annual Greater Hartford St. Patrick’s Day Parade

The Annual Greater Hartford St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be held on Saturday, March 9th, 2023 from 11 am to 2 pm.

Come down to the parade route early and get your seat! The parade begins at Capitol Avenue by the State Capitol, takes a left on Main Street, a left on Asylum, a left on Ford Street, and then ends by the Memorial Arch. If you can not make it downtown, the parade will be broadcast live on CW 20 (beginning at 11:30a.m.) on Saturday March 9th, and will be replayed on Fox 61 on St Patrick’s Day, Sunday March 17th at noon. Please note, there will be some road closures along the parade route before the parade. Parking is available in various lots and garages near the XL Center area and Convention Center.

For 50+ years, dedicated volunteers have coordinated the Annual Greater Hartford St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Besides widespread local print and broadcast media coverage, their efforts help draw an average of 60,000 parade participants and spectators into the City of Hartford on Parade Day. With this attendance, the parade has become one of the largest annual crowd-attracting events for the City of Hartford.
