The Irish Channel Saint Patrick's Day Parade

Welcome To The Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club

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 sur"i"ed and this year, plans to parade with the largest membership e"er (fourteen hundred plus). The organization credits its sur"i"al to their deep, strong roots. While the top root is Irish Heritage, many of it's members feel an e"en 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.
