Since 1967, the St. Patrick’s Association has been the organization behind the greatest Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in the nation, hosted in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Not only does our 100% volunteer group sponsor and coordinate the parade each year, but we also strive to donate at least $10,000 annually to local charities.

Most of our planning and fundraising is done during the six weeks leading up to Saint Patrick’s Day. But, we have a year-round presence serving our community. Whether cleaning up a park on Earth Day, volunteering with the Ronald McDonald House, or spreading cheer during the summer parades, you will undoubtedly see us sporting our green throughout the Twin Cities!

Get Involved

There are so many ways to get involved with the Saint Patrick’s Association. Whether you want to help out on the big day, contribute financially, or be a part of the magic all year round, there’s an option for you!

  • Be a part of one of St. Paul's favorite traditions as a unit in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

  • We couldn’t put on the parade without our corporate sponsors, who donate funds, services, and prizes for our fundraising events.

  • Join the sisterhood of Shamrock Princesses and run to be the queen of green, Miss Shamrock.

  • Help out on the big day! Apply to be a parade marshal and/or Ballpark Hooley volunteer.
