Saturday, March 16, 2013 1:00 pm The Hoosick Falls St Patrick's Parade and Irish Fest will celebrate its 22nd Anniversary on March 16th, 2013. Over 20 years ago, local Irishmen Mike Conway and TJ Carmody wanted to find a way to keep the Irish Culture and history alive in the Hoosick area, and decided that a parade was the ticket! The history of the St Patrick's Day Parade dates back to when Irish immigrants made their way to Hoosick Falls in the mid 1800s and ended sometime in the 1950s. In 1991 the parade started again. The 22nd Annual Hoosick Falls St. Patrick's Parade and Irish Fest. March 16, 2013. Parade will begin in Wood Park, Down Main, John, Church St, Willard and Back down Main.
