This year s parade was scheduled for March 15. The health and safety of our participants and spectators is of paramount importance to the Greater New Haven St. Patrick s Day Parade Committee, reads the notice on the committee s website.
The next parade is scheduled for March 13, 2022.
Last year s parade officially was postponed, not canceled, in the hopes that it could be held later in the year, said committee Chairwoman Joanne Conlan. This year, while there are no plans to reschedule the 2021 parade, We re using the same word, postponed, as opposed to canceled, Conlan said. Postponed, I think, sounds a little more positive, focusing on what we can do, not what we can t do.
