Get ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day early, Binghamton! The 2025 Hillcrest St. Patrick's Day Parade is set to cap off Binghamton Parade Weekend on Sunday, March 2nd, bringing a festive dose of Irish cheer to our community after Saturday's Parade Day in Downtown Binghamton!

Hosted by the Hillcrest St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee, this family-friendly event will begin at 1:00 PM at the Hillcrest Post 1194 American Legion. The parade will then wind its way down Chenango Street, ending at the Elliot Manufacturing Parking Lot on Nowlan Road.

Prepare to be entertained by the sounds of not one, but four bagpipe bands! The parade will feature performances by the Edward P. Maloney Memorial Pipe Band, Philadelphia Police & Fire Pipes and Drums, the Penn York Highlanders, and our very own Broome County Celtic Pipes and Drums. The streets will be alive with the traditional music and vibrant energy of these talented performers.

In addition to the fantastic musical acts, the parade will also feature appearances by local officials and numerous community organizations. It's a wonderful opportunity to see familiar faces and celebrate the spirit of community.

Giving Back While Celebrating:

The parade is also an opportunity to support a great cause! Donations will be collected along the parade route for US For Kids (“Underwear and Socks for Kids”). This wonderful organization, created by the Centenary-Chenango Street Church, provides essential underwear and socks to children in our community. Please consider bringing a donation to help support this initiative.
