March 17, 2024 at 1 pm – Rain or Shine

We have some exciting news! The 2024 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New London, CT will be held on Sunday, March 17, 2024. The parade’s theme is, “Everyone Is Irish for a Day” This event is sponsored by the City of New London, the Downtown New London Association and produced by Neff Productions.

This year’s parade will consist of local bands, civic groups, Irish civic organizations, and youth groups. The parade kick off at the corner of Bank and Tilley Streets, proceed north on Bank Street, turn left up State Street and then proceed onto Washington Street. The route this year is approximately ¾ of a mile and is more compact than the previous parade routes in the city, which provides greater viewing for the public. The review stand will be at Parade Plaza, located at the corner of Bank and State Streets.
