Saturday’s Providence St. Patrick’s Day Parade Postponed Due to Weather

Providence -- The 15th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Providence’s Smith Hill scheduled for Saturday, March 8, has been postponed due to expectations of inclement weather. The National Weather Service is predicting heavy rains throughout the day on Saturday.

“We are obviously disappointed that the parade has been postponed, but believe the best decision was to reschedule based on the weather forecast,” said Patrick Griffin, Parade Committee President. “It was important to the committee that the rescheduled date did not interfere with the Newport Parade, Holy Week or Easter.”

The parade has been rescheduled to Saturday, March 29th at Noon. The parade will step off at the intersection of Elmhurst Avenue and Smith Street.
