Parade

Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Pennsylvania (PA)
Pocono Irish American
The
Pocono Irish American Club was founded in 1978 to preserve and promote Irish
culture. Every year since it's founding the club has organized and produced the
annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. The parade covers a distance of not quite two
miles, beginning in the borough of Stroudsburg and ending in
East
Stroudsburg. The parade is funded through various fund raising efforts by the
Club, and through the generosity of our Parade and Band Sponsors (see
sponsorship info). The event has evolved into one of the premier parades in
Pennsylvania and the surrounding area.
The parade is held annually on the first Sunday
after
St. Patrick's Day.
This year we are proud to present
