During the past 8 parades, nearly 150,000 people have visited the City of Pittston for the best small St. Patrick's Parade in the US! Highlights Throughout the brief history of the parade, we have welcomed over a dozen different bagpipe bands. Our parade yearly boasts over 120 distinct units. In 2018, we were very proud to welcome the NYPD Emerald Society Pipe & Drum Band!
