9:00pm


After careful consideration, the Cleveland St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee of the United Irish Societies of Greater Cleveland has canceled the 2021 St. Patrick’s Day Parade due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The health and safety of our community is our greatest priority.  We must act in the best interest and well-being of all organizers, volunteers, participants, and spectators. Though we are disappointed to announce the cancellation, the Cleveland St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee is committed to presenting the next Parade on March 17, 2022.

We thank you for your support and understanding and look forward to next year!

Halfway to St. Patrick's Day!

 

Cleveland's St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee kicked off the 2021 Parade Cycle this week.

Stay tuned for updates related to the 2021 Cleveland St. Patrick's Day Parade!

2021 Parade Theme


The 2021 Parade Theme will be:

Ireland’s Scenic Coastlines

The Parade Committee appreciates all of the planning, time and resources that goes into the creation of floats for the St. Patrick's Day Parade.  Many organizations spend months preparing their floats, and most floats were ready to go for the 2020 Parade.  Therefore, the Parade Committee has opted to carry forward the 2020 Parade Theme to the 2021 Parade.  We can't wait to see what's in store for the 2021 Parade!

Pictured above are the Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, just one of the many coastlines that could be featured in the floats entered into the 2021 Parade.

Get Your Collectible 2020 Shamrock Pin


A limited number of Shamrock Pins are made each year.  This year’s Pin is definitely a collectible!
