Céad Míle Fáilte!

Welcome to the Home of the Burlington County Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. We are the only Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in Burlington County and we would like to invite you to join us to celebrate our Irish Heritage and Culture at the Parade that will take place on Saturday March, 3 2012 at 1 P.M. in Downtown Mount Holly.

The Parade is a fun filled day with Pipe Bands, Irish Bands Step Dancers and many more examples of Irish Traditions. Please look around the website for more information about the Parade and how to take part. We welcome you to join us either as a volunteer, sponsor or participant. Please contact us if you have any questions and I hope to see you at the Parade. Also meet up with us afterwards at High Street Grill for the official After Party with non stop Irish music on two stages all day and night.

Each year the parade committee also selects a Miss St. Patrick to join our Grand Marshal in leading the parade down the street.  She receives an educational scholarship to help further her studies.  Along with this the Parade committee sponsors and runs several events that showcase Irish Heritage as well as educational and cultural events that will help the public gain a greater understanding of Irish Culture.

We are always looking for new volunteers to take part in the planning and running of the parade. If you are interested please contact us and someone will be in touch with you. I look forward to seeing all of you at next year’s parade.

Parade Moved to the 31st due to Weather Conditions

March 2, 2012 at 9:50 am

Due to unforeseen weather conditions that have developed the parade committee had decided that it is in the best interest of everyone involved to postpone the parade until the Saturday March 31st.  The current weather models show heavy rain and thunder continuing though 2 P.M. tomorrow.  Even if we pushed the parade time back this would not leave us enough time to get everyone set up and have the parade finish before it started to get dark.  We are sorry for any problems that it may cause by moving the parade date to the 31st.  If anyone is until to take part in the parade on the new date of the 31st please contact me so that we may plan accordingly.  Once again we would like to thank you for your understanding on us having to move the parade due to the approaching “Irish Sunshine”

 

Sincerely,

John and Molly’s becomes the Sponsor of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade

February 29, 2012 at 10:45 am

The parade committee would like to welcome John and Molly’s Restaurant and Bar in Eastampton as the official sponsor of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.  John and Molly’s is located on Woodlane road in Eastampton and will feature a large festival tent on St. Patrick’s Day.  It is a great place to spend St. Patrick’s Day in the Mt. Holly area with some great music and Irish beers.  It will make you feel like you are stepping back into Dublin for the day. 

John and Molly’s has joined us as the sponsor of our Grand Marshal and we are excited to have such a great restaurant joining the parade.  Please visit them on the web at www.johnandmollys.com
