Will Utica's Saint Patrick's Day Parade Take Place in 2022?

After two years of being canceled due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Utica Saint Patrick's Day parade will return for March of 2022.

The news was released Tuesday afternoon on Facebook by organizers that the parade will be back for the city to celebrate the special Irish holiday.

To those who struggled for the past 20+ months we hope the joy of a day of celebration and festivities will bring a bit of Irish sunshine into your lives. We are thankful for the ability to bring the parade back after a long time off.

The 2022 Saint Patrick’s Day Parade will be held on March 12, with their cannon kick off at 10AM.

Currently, the parade committee is on the hunt to find the next Grand Marshal for the annual parade. Do you know someone who's spirit of the Irish that helps our community? The honor of being crowned Grand Marshal is truly a wonderful way to appreciate their efforts. Applications are due December 31.

The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
