MERIDEN AOH ANNOUNCES POSTPONEMENT OF 47TH ANNUAL ST. PATRICK’S PARADE UNTIL SATURDAY MAY 16

The Meriden Ancient Order of Hibernians Division 1 announced today that the 47th Annual St. Patrick’s Parade set for Saturday March 21 has been postponed to Saturday May 16.

“The AOH membership voted last night to take this action at the behest of local and state officials in order to protect the health and safety of our marchers and spectators”, said Jim Finley, Parade Co-Chair.

The new parade date of May 16 will allow the current public health situation to stabilize while still allowing central Connecticut’s favorite and largest parade to take place.

Efforts are underway to contact participants about the change of plans.
