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.
