Celebrate St. Patrick's Day New Orleans Style with the annual Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Parade!
Parade Day March 16, 2024
The Irish Channel St. Patrick’s Day Committee was organized in the Irish Channel in 1947. The current president of the organization is Richard (Dick) Burke, Jr. (son and nephew of two of the organizers; Dick and Paul Burke).
Despite the years of decline and change in the “Channel,” the organization has survived and this year, plans to parade with the largest membership ever (fourteen hundred plus). The organization credits its survival to their deep, strong roots. While the top root is Irish Heritage, many of it’s members feel an even stronger bond, just being from or associated with, the Irish Channel. Most people are aware of the pre-parade mass, followed by the parade up Magazine Street with hundreds of men in formal attire.
The traditional Mass scheduled before the parade at St. Mary's Assumption Church (923 Josephine St. New Orleans, La.) is scheduled to begin at 12:00 pm on. This mass open to the public.
The Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club will continue to provide New Orleans and our global guests with the vibrancy, deep culture, and strong sense of community the Irish Channel has instilled in us since well before our club began in 1947. Starting as a small celebration in the Irish Channel and growing to a global St. Patrick's Day experience with attendees in the hundreds of thousands, the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club is proud to share our history, craic, and unique sense of Irish-American culture every year at one of our several events. Please follow us on social media for more events throughout the year.
