Cleveland St Patrick's Parade 2024

Live Stream, Lineup, Route, Start Time, Schedule

Recognised as the largest parade in the state of Ohio, the Cleveland St Patrick's day parade attracts audiences in excess of half a million onto the city's streets to witness the spectacle. Experience the luck of the Irish as the city transforms into a sea of green and indulge in authentic Irish music, dancing and savour the flavours of traditional cuisine at many of the local pubs! The parade, unlike many of those across the US, takes place annually on St Patrick's day itself, the 17th March, making it a very common day for the city's residents to try and get some time off work!

In terms of the parade itself, there are around 10,000 active participants, marching in well over 100 different groups or units. You can see a listing of some of the main parade sections below.

The Cleveland parade also enjoys the distinction of being one of the oldest St Patrick's day events in the country, tracing it's origins way back to 1867. Local traditions that have developed over the years include the nomination of a Grand Marshall to oversee the parade and the recognition of a Mother of the Year.

St Patrick's Day does of course also revolve around generous consumption of alcoholic beverages and Cleveland is blessed with a number of top quality Irish bars to help facilitate this process.
