The Hackettstown Business Improvement District (HBID) is hosting the 16th Annual St.
Patrick’s Parade, Sunday, March 9, 2025. This Irish-American tradition attracts 1,000’s
of 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. More details can be
found at our website, www.hackettstownbid.com.

We will kick off the Parade weekend with a Grand Marshal Reception to honor 2025 St.
Patrick’s Parade Grand Marshal, Mary Litwhiler. The reception dinner will be at David’s
Country Inn on Thursday, March 6th, 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 are $65, or $600 for a table of 10, and are available on the Hackettstown BID
website. All are Welcome!

The 16th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade will kick off at 3:30 pm with numerous
participants including Irish dance groups, Irish bands, community groups, boy/girl
scouts, bagpipes and drums, Centenary University and Hackettstown High School
teams and clubs, lots of floats, our local fire departments and rescue squads, as well as
hometown favorites Senior Colonial Musketeers and the Hackettstown Community
Band.

The parade is pet-friendly, with a special Irish Dog Costume Contest sponsored by
Doggie Styleashes. Judging will be held at Czig Meister Brewing, located at 106
