- NYC St. Patty's Parade
The parade goes up 5th Avenue from 44th to 86th Streets. Despite not allowing floats, autos or exhibits, there are over 150,000 marchers every year.
The New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade will take place on March 17th, starting at 11:00 a.m. on 5th Avenue around 44th Street. Toward the north end of the St. Patrick's Day Parade route are the best viewing spots: you can avoid the crowds that throng the sidewalks below 59th Street. The upper steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art provide a great view or you can get a close-up view of the marchers where the St. Patrick's Day Parade turns east on 86th Street. The St. Patrick's Day Parade ends at 86th Street, around 2 or 3 p.m.
