2013 New York- Northern Westchester / Putnam Saint Patrick's Day Parade: Our parade is the third largest in New York state and takes place on Route 6 in Mahopac, New York. This year marks our 37th consecutive year. This parade is meant to recognize and celebrate Irish culture, heritage and pride, for those who have emigrated here from the Emerald Isle, the Irish-American community, as well as those who are Irish in spirit! We have numerous organizations, bands, clubs, patriotic groups, Irish dancers and a vast array of participants showing their support of the Irish community.
