Expect the sights and sounds of pipe bands, marching bands, Irish dancers, and local cultural and community organizations, plus a few kid-friendly treats along the route.
Activities are planned before and after the parade. The Downtown Bethlehem Association’s Historic Leprechaun Hunt begins at 10:00 a.m., making it an easy add-on for families before the 1:00 p.m. step-off.
