An EPIC Irish Celebration On The AC Boardwalk

This non-profit parade is about more than just marching bands and floats, even though you’ll definitely see plenty of school bands, bagpipers, Irish dancers, and creative entries.

The event also gives a boost to Atlantic City’s bars, restaurants, casinos, and local businesses while highlighting the city in a positive, welcoming light. I love it every year. It’s so much fun.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-timer, this is your sign to make plans. Bring the family, grab a coffee (or a pint), and enjoy a feel-good day filled with music, culture, and community. Mark your calendar, Atlantic City! March 7th is right around the corner.
