The Hackettstown Business Improvement District (HBID) is hosting the 15th
Annual St. Patrick’s Parade, Sunday, March 10, 2024. This Irish-American
tradition attracts more than 14,000 visitors—making this parade one of the
biggest events in Hackettstown. Streets fill with enthusiasm as families, residents
and visitors line up to celebrate and witness the festive parade.
Preceding the parade, join us for the St. Patrick’s Bar and Brew Crawl. This event
is a fundraiser created to support the St. Patrick’s Parade festivities. Celebrate at
Marley’s Gotham Grill, Grand Avenue Tavern, Man Skirt Brewing, and Czig
Meister Brewing Company. Your kind donation gets you one sheet of tickets,
which includes a coupon good for one beer at each location. Selections vary per
location. Tickets can be purchased at the BID office at 219 Main St., and on our
website, www.hackettstownbid.com. PRESALE TICKETS can be purchased for
$25 up to February 22, 2024. Tickets purchased after the 22nd, will be $30.
Coupon sheets can be picked up by appointment in the BID office. Bar Crawl
anytime between February 22nd and March 31st.
The Hackettstown BID is also selling festive shirts and sweatshirts to support the
parade. These can also be preordered on the website.

We will kick off the Parade weekend with a Grand Marshal Reception to honor
2024 St. Patrick’s Parade Grand Marshal, Retired Hackettstown Police Lt. Darren
Tynan. The reception dinner will be at David’s Country Inn Ballroom on Thursday,
March 7th, and will feature a live performance by Rory O’Moore School of Pipes
and Drums and a dance performance by Slattery School of Irish Dance. Tickets

The 15th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade will kick off at 3:30 pm with numerous

scouts, bagpipes and drums, Centenary University and Hackettstown High
School teams and clubs, lots of floats, various area fire departments and rescue
squads, as well as hometown favorites Junior and Senior Colonial Musketeers
and the Hackettstown Community Band.

The parade is pet-friendly, with a special pet Irish Costume Contest sponsored by
