The St. Patrick’s Committee of Holyoke, Inc. is a non-profit organization (501C3) that was incorporated in 1952 to produce an annual parade which has become a regional event attracting over 400,000 on-street spectators and a quarter of a million television/live-stream viewers. The Parade is the Pioneer Valley’s biggest homecoming of the year!
In addition to the Parade, our annual 10kRoad Race, receptions and dinners for renowned local and international award winners, and year-round events make this community-based organization a cherished institution, celebrating Irish heritage, civic pride, faith, family, friendship, and tradition.
