Queens St. Patrick's Day Parade
2008
Sunday, March 2th @ 2pm
The St. Patrick's Parade & Irish Fair Committee is committed to celebrating the diversity of the Irish and Irish American communities of New York. First held in 2000, the Parade & Fair has become an annual community
endeavor that cherishes and celebrates an inclusive St. Patrick's holiday season. Our celebration is the first
in the 240 years + of Irish parades in New York City to be open and welcoming to all who share the spirit of
the day. Our theme "cherishing all the children of the nation equally" is taken from the 1916 Easter Proclamation
of the Irish Republic. It is a vision drawn from our past and a guide for our future.
On March 2nd, 2008, the cries of delighted children and the call of the bagpipes will lead the 9th annual
St. Patrick's Parade & Irish Fair in Sunnyside/Woodside. Since the word has spread about our event
we have gotten committments from many public officials, community groups, unions, pipers, dancers and puppeteers,
religious communities, the young, seniors, gay and straight, all looking forward to celebrating our wonderful
diversity. Visitors from Ireland will join us along with many contingents. We will again proudly showcase other
contingents representing the great people of the Caribbean, latino, Native American, and Korean communities.
