ROSE OF SYRACUSE

Every year, the Syracuse St. Patrick’s Parade Committee honors a Rose of Syracuse who is attended by several Rosebuds. The Rose is a young lady between the ages of 18-23, who is interested in celebrating her Irish heritage through participation in the Syracuse St. Patrick’s Parade and all parade festivities! The Rosebud Program is a non-competitive program for girls of Irish heritage, ages 5-12. Applications will open in December 2019 and a Rose will be chosen in February 2020.
