Saturday, March 13, 2010 @ 1:00 pm
The Hoosick Falls St Patrick's Parade and Irish Fest will celebrate its 19th Anniversary on March13th 2010.Eighteen years ago, local Irishmen Mike Conway and TJ Carmody wanted to find a way to keep the Irish Culture and history alive in the Hoosick area, and decided that a parade was the ticket!
The history of the St Patrick's Day Parade dates back to when Irish immigrants made their way to Hoosick Falls in the mid 1800s and ended sometime in the 1950s. In 1991 the parade started again.
Each year the parade has grown to what it has become today and the Irish Fest has become a First Night like event. The day begins at 1:00 PM with over 40 Marching Units and Floats and is followed by the Irish Fest.
The Parade and Irish Fest have become the single largest one-day event in the Town of Hoosick with two to three thousand visitors that day. It is also the best day of year for local for local bars, Restaurants and Shops.
The 19th Annual Hoosick Falls St. Patrick's Parade and Irish Fest. March 13, 2010. Parade will begin in Wood Park, Down Main, John, Church St, Willard and Back down Main.
