THANK YOU
On behalf of the Syracuse St. Patrick’s Parade Committee, many thanks for your continuing generosity and support of Syracuse’s finest community event – the Syracuse St. Patrick’s Parade. On Saturday, March 15, 2025, we will celebrate for the 43rd annual parade! We’re the largest parade in New York State, outside of New York City, and one of the top 10 parades in the United States.
Through your corporate donations and continued acts of kindness, we can bring another grand event to the streets of Syracuse! Please see our sponsorship packages and join us in celebrating our community and heritage. Your corporate donation or purchase of an ad helps us with many aspects of the parade, including the musical entertainment and floats that add so much to the parade. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
