I love St. Patrick’s Day in Western Massachusetts. I am able to celebrate both my pride in Western Massachusetts and my love of my Irish heritage.
The best place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day is Holyoke, MA and it is a weekend long celebration.
The official events kick off on Saturday morning with the Holyoke Road Race. The fun continues after the race with music and pubs and friends.
On Sunday the St. Patrick’s Day Parade is held. This is either the 1st or 2nd largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the world, depending on your source.
This year the warm weather was on our side and that resulted in record turnout numbers. Here is a short recap of the St. Patrick’s day celebrations in Holyoke, MA. I hope you can join us in Western MA next year!
