The Chestertown St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a beloved small-town tradition that brings out the entire community. It takes place at a time of year when people are ready to lay down their snow shovels, get out of the house and come together.

Local organizations participate in the parade, and everyone cheers for the bagpipers, musicians, public servants, community volunteers, town services, fire trucks, road crews, and much more.

The 2024 parade begins at 2 pm on Saturday, March 16. In addition to floats, music, and firetrucks, food and beverages will be available. Don’t miss the fun time for the whole family.
