Attention all members and friends! Get ready to show your IBO pride at the best parade in the world...the 263rd NYC St Patrick’s Day Parade! ALL ARE WELCOME!

Join up with friends old and new as we march through the streets of Manhattan, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the city on the most Irish day of the year.  Let's celebrate our heritage, our culture, and our presence in the heart of New York.

Join IBO Parade Grand Marshal John Lee, the Aides to the Grand Marshal - Maralyn Dolan, Paul Dougherty & Loretta Bricchi Lee - and our members, friends and family for this unforgettable experience. And then keep the festivities going at the IBO afterparty, with food, open bar, and entertainment.

MARCH: Meet at 12:30 p.m. at East 46th Street between Madison & Vanderbilt Avenues.  You will be directed to our volunteers to check-in, get sashed, and get your bracelet if you have RSVP'd for the afterparty! Please look for the area where this is taking place.

AFTERPARTY: Immediately after parade (approximately 4 pm to 9 pm) at 122 E 83rd Street - 10 minute walk from end of parade route.  If you have not yet decided to join our afterparty, payment will be accepted at the door.
