Postponement of 2022 Parade
The St. Patrick’s Parade Committee of Washington, D.C. is announcing the postponement of the St. Patrick’s Parade scheduled for March 13th, 2022. This difficult decision by the Committee Board was made due to a change in traditional funding associated with COVID-19 and new permitting regulations with the D.C. Government.
The St. Patrick’s Parade of Washington, D.C. Committee Board is working on a way forward that would allow the entire D.C. Irish Community an opportunity to participate. Details for future 2022 events celebrating the mission of the St. Patrick’s Parade Committee will be announced once they have been finalized.
Between now and March 13th, the Committee is continuing to gather as a community throughout the DMV at our fundraisers and partner events. Details for future 2022 events celebrating the mission of the St. Patrick’s Parade Committee will be announced on our website, on our Facebook page, and through email.
The Committee is thankful to the many supporters of the parade across the DMV, as well as the parade’s scheduled participants, sponsors, honorees, fundraiser hosts, and dozens of volunteers that have dedicated time this parade season.
