Lovingly sewn into the banner were traditional Irish depictions: St. Patrick in his bishop’s robes, an Irish wolfhound, a harp, shamrocks, and a portrait of Gen. Richard Montgomery, the Irish-born hero of the American Revolution. The two mottos inscribed on the banner bespoke the dual loyalties of the marchers: “e pluribus unum” and “Erin go bragh.” (Joan Moynihan and Neil Hogan)

Since the mid-1950’s the St. Patrick’s Day Parade of Greater New Haven has become one of New England’s premier Irish events. It is the largest, single-day spectator event in the State of Connecticut. As the 6^th oldest parade in the nation, its fame was recognized by the Library of Congress in 1999.  This keepsake of New Haven’s Irish community became a national keepsake when the Library of Congress selected the Greater New Haven St. Patrick’s Day Parade as an outstanding example of American folk life. (Moynihan and Hogan)
Thank you to all who participate, attend and support the Greater New Haven St. Patrick’s Day Parade. An estimated 250,000 spectators lined the streets of the Elm City in 2010. We are in the midst of planning the 2011 parade which will take place on Sunday, March 13th 2011. We are very proud of this great tradition and we invite you to enjoy the information and history of our great parade in the pages of this web site!
