The Peekskill St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a cherished local tradition celebrating Irish heritage, community pride, and the spirit of the Hudson Valley. Organized by the Peekskill St. Patrick’s Committee, the city’s first parade stepped off in March 1990 and has since grown into one of the region’s most beloved annual celebrations.
This year’s parade will step off at 3:00 PM on Saturday, March 14, 2026, bringing music, marching bands, local organizations, and Irish pride to the streets of Peekskill. Join the community as we celebrate Irish culture and honor those who help keep these traditions alive.
We proudly congratulate this year's honorees, Grand Marshall: Lou Panzanaro Jr.; and Aides: John Berlow, Fiona Brennan, Dana Dapson, and Father Estaban Sanchez.
☘️ All are welcome to come out, line the streets, and enjoy the festivities!
