St. Patrick's Day Parade
Each March, the Emerald Guild Society steps into public to proudly march up 5th Avenue.
The parade remains one of the Guild's strongest public traditions, carrying the Society forward in view of the city it has long served.
Heritage & Pride
St. Patrick's Day is more than a date on the calendar for the Guild. It is a day to honor Irish heritage in public, to gather as a community, and to see families, members, and the next generation take pride in the tradition together along Fifth Avenue.
2026 Grand Marshal
Each year, the Guild President selects one outstanding member to lead us up 5th Avenue.
It is an honor and experience that each Grand Marshal carries with them forever.
