The parade begins at 10:30 a.m. and will kick off at Conwell-Egan Catholic High School in Bristol Township. Participants will proceed along New Falls Road, ending at the Levittown American Baseball Fields in Falls Township, across from the Thornridge Shopping Center.

A pre-parade mass will be held at 8 a.m. at Conwell-Egan Catholic Chapel.

This year’s event will feature bagpipes, Irish dancers in colorful costumes, local businesses, emergency responders and a general atmosphere of celebration.

Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, who is of Irish descent, will serve as the Grand Marshal.

The parade’s theme is “One Community – One Ireland.”

The parade was cancelled at the last-minute last year due to a triple-fatal shooting that rocked the community.

The parade, which began in 1989, has become a popular local tradition drawing attendees from across Bucks County.

Following the parade, a post-parade celebration, known as a Hoolie, will be held at the Ancient Order of Hibernians at 614 Corson Street in Bristol Borough. The Hoolie will feature additional music, food and entertainment.
