Queens County St. Patrick's Day Parade – Rockaway
Begins at Beach 130th Street and Newport Avenue and ends at Shore Front Parkway and the Irish Circle Tavern
Saturday, March 2 at 1pm
FREE
Following a mass for peace and justice in Ireland at the St. Francis De Salle's RC Church, this 38th annual parade struts down Rockaway Beach Boulevard, connecting the Irish enclaves of Belle Harbor and Rockaway Beach with plenty of pageantry. We expect this edition to be particularly emotional, since both communities survived the wrath of Hurricane Sandy.

NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade – Manhattan
Begins at Fifth Avenue and 44th Street and ends at 86th Street
Saturday, March 16 at 11am
FREE
Manhattan's procession is the biggest and oldest St. Patrick’s Day Parade anywhere, full of pomp, pageantry, blaring bagpipes and millions of spectators. A Mommy Poppins writer who frequents this parade reports that it isn't nearly as wild as its reputation, but there are still huge crowds, drunk adults and not that many kids. So you should use your best judgment before you head out. Watching at the northern end is usually a little less intense.
