Gloucester City is proud to celebrate Irish Month with the 11th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, presented by the NJ Irish Society and the Camden County Board of Commissioners. The parade steps off rain or shine at 1:00 PM from Martin’s Lake (Johnson Blvd. & Francis Street) and continues along Monmouth Street.
This year’s celebration features string bands, bagpipes, Irish dancers, Irish music groups, community organizations, and more. We are also excited to welcome back Bob Kelly of FOX 29 as our celebrity host, bringing his signature energy and parade‑day flair.
Residents are encouraged to wear their green, gather friends and family, and join us for one of the region’s best Irish parades. And while you’re here, make a day of it by supporting our local pubs, restaurants, and cafés before and after the parade. From gourmet coffee drinks to festive Irish shakes, to quick bites and lively before‑and‑after parties, Gloucester City has everything you need to keep the celebration going.
As part of this year’s community spirit, parade‑goers are invited to bring new socks to support our unhoused neighbors. Look for the Sock Truck along the parade route to toss in your donation, or drop socks off at St. Mary’s, which will also host a special Mass before the parade. All are welcome.
