A new chapter for Cleveland's St. Patrick's Day Parade begins in 2027, and Ideastream Public Media is honored to help kick it off.

In partnership with The United Irish Societies of Greater Cleveland and Playhouse Square, we'll help launch the Parade from the Playhouse Square District before it marches through the Gateway entertainment district, passes through Public Square, and ends in downtown Cleveland.

We're thrilled to play a role in this cherished Cleveland tradition. You can view the 2027 Cleveland's St. Patrick's Day Parade Route at stpatricksdaycleveland.com.
