Somerville St Patrick’s Day Parade

The first St. Patrick’s Day Parade on record in Somerville was held in 1984. It began at Duke Island Park and traveled to downtown Somerville. The parade remained like this for several years until the organization could no longer continue. The original parade had co-grand marshals: Tom Lavin, the founder of the local division of the AOH and Msgr. John Torney the pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Bernardsville. In 1991 a new committee formed and held its first parade the following year. Its new route began and commenced on Main Street in Somerville, making it much more appealing to both bands and spectators. Over the years, many people have helped coordinate the parade. To view the current parade committee and some significant past contributors click here. Each year the parade committee elects a person to be the Grand Marshal of the Somerville Saint Patrick’s Parade. This honor is awarded to a member of the community that has had a significant positive social impact on the community as a whole, and who exhibits a good representation of Christian values.
