Thousands participated in the celebration of the history, culture and pride of the Irish American community in Philadelphia during the annual parade on the Ben Franklin Parkway Sunday, Mar. 16, 2025.

Friends from Ireland, Carl McAllorm (from left), Ronan McNamara, Greg Toolis, and Colm McDonald came to Philadelphia to march in the parade as guests of the Southwest Philly Breezeway Girls. McAllorm, saying “they fit last year,” ripped his matching pants before he left in the morning.

This year's grand marshal was Paddy Rooney and the parade theme, a tribute to first responders, was “St. Patrick, Bless Those Dedicated to Serving Others.”
