Boston St Patrick's Parade 2024

Live Stream, Lineup, Route, Start Time, Schedule

Experience the vibrant heartbeat of St Patrick's Day as Boston transforms into a sea of green, offering a unique blend of culture, festivities and of course the parade!

Boston is one city where you woud most definitely expect to find a St Patrick's Day parade. The Irish spirit meets New England Charm, and given the large influence Irish heritage has had on the origins and development of the city, they certainly don't disappoint with the South Boston parade being widely recognised as the second largest in the country, coming in only behind New York City with an audience of an estimated 1 million taking to the city's streets to mark the occasion.

The Boston parade has the benefit of being shifted to the Sunday closest to St Patrick's day itself and this means work and school conflicts are minimised and more people are free to come out and enjoy the day unencumbered. The parade, known locally as Southie's annual wearing of the green, isn't one of the oldest, tracing it's origins back to 1901, but it has certainly grown quickly in the intervening years.

The weekend timing also means a better trade for the local bars, and Boston has a number of Irish bars and hostelries that support the parade and will provide a warm welcome to any visitors on parade day.
