East Durham St. Patrick's Day Parade

East Durham, known as the “33rd County” and the heart of the Irish Alps, is ready to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in grand style! After a hugely successful revival last year, the Second Annual East Durham St. Patrick’s Day Parade promises to be even bigger and better.

Sunday, March 16, 2025
Parade starts at 1 PM (lineup by 12 PM)
Starts at MJQ Irish Cultural Centre | Ends at The Cross Roads at Five Furlongs

Honoring Our 2025 Grand Marshals:
Colleen McGrath Fenlon & Dermot Fenlon – Owners of McGrath’s Edgewood Falls, celebrating over 50 years of family legacy in East Durham.
Fr. Henry Reid will serve as Aide to the Grand Marshal, a lifelong friend of the McGrath family and a cherished part of the East Durham community.

Parade Day Details:

Parking: Available at The Blackthorne, McGrath’s, The Flea Market, Our Lady of Knock Shrine, and the Weldon House – with free shuttle service to and from the parade route!
