Mark your calendars for March 9th, 2024!

The Central Connecticut Celtic Cultural Committee will be hosting the 2024 Greater Hartford St. Patrick's day parade on March 9th to celebrate the 52nd Anniversary of this great event!  The parade will take place on Saturday 3/9/2024, stepping off from the Capitol building at 11AM.

Our sincerest thanks to:

  • our sponsors and supporters
  • our parade participants & spectators
  • our partners in the City of Hartford
  • our dedicated volunteers who work year-round to make this parade possible

Join us as the tradition continues, on Saturday March 9, 2024.


On Friday March 8th at 7:00 PM the CCCCC’s Annual St Patrick’s Day Parade Mass will be celebrated at St Patrick St Anthony Church, 285 Church St, Hartford, CT.
We are particularly excited, this year, to welcome Archbishop Christopher Coyne as our Principal Celebrant as we honor our Patron Saint, our shared history and all who came before us. At the conclusion of mass, Mrs. Cora Dunning, our 2024 Parade Grand Marshal, will be presented with the traditional walking stick with which she will lead our 52th Annual Parade on Saturday March 9th.
Please be aware that there is free, well-lit and easily accessible parking in the “Saints Lot” directly across the street from the church, but early arrival is still recommended. For family members and friends who may be unable to attend mass in person, it will also be livestreamed and accessible via YouTube, Streamspot and Facebook with those links available on the St Patrick St Anthony Church website (spsact.org).
Looking forward to having you join us . . . Jim Moriarty
Mass Coordinator
