The Saint Patrick' Parade in Conshohocken was the only Saint Patrick's Parade in Montgomery County Pa. The original parade was started in Norristown in 1992 but over the years the attendance of the crowd dwindled a lot. The parade committee needed to do something to bring this parade back to life. The parade committee in 2005 approached the Borough of Conshohocken about having the parade in their
town in 2006. After a several meeting and phone calls the move was approved by the Borough. As it turned out Conshohocken is a parade town. Thousands lined the street in 2006 the first parade and the attendance has been growing each year. Named the "Best Littlest Parade" the one-mile-long parade is loaded with music and entertainment. And it's a great setting with restaurant and pubs lining the parade route. Conshohocken is easily accessed from the route 76 the Expressway, 476 Blue Route, Ridge Pike and Route 23. Also, SEPTA have a bus and train line coming into town. Over the years the Grand Marshal's Ball has become bigger along with the parade. This is the big night for the incoming Grand Marshal and his family. This is when he or she takes over the reins as Grand Marshal a Very Special Night for All. This event is always the Saturday before the parade. The parade is always the Saturday before Saint Patrick's Day. The committee started a new event with the move to Conshohocken that has become a big hit. The "Irish Coffee Contest". Several of the past Grand Marshal's and present one are the judges. The parade committee thanks all the supporters who held finance this community event that has become one of the biggest community events in Montgomery County. Special thanks to the Borough of Conshohocken who have worked with us since our beginning in 2006 to help make this Saint Patrick's Parade a huge success! The Montgomery County Saint Patrick's Parade Inc. is responsible for the organization of this community event.
