Pittsburgh St. Patrick's Day Parade 2026

Pittsburgh St. Patrick's Day Parade 2026 — one of the largest St. Patrick's Day celebrations in the country! With approximately 1/5th of the Pittsburgh metropolitan community claiming Irish heritage, the Steel City knows how to celebrate. Irish step dancers, marching bands, military members, community organizations, and even Punxsutawney Phil march down Grant Street every year on the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day. What began more than 150 years ago to honor the patron saint of Ireland has evolved into a city-wide celebration. New in 2026: The Pittsburgh Parade Day Dash — a family-friendly run happening just before the parade. Wear your green (or black and gold) and help us celebrate! Free public event.
