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.

Each year the parade has grown to what it has become today and the Irish Fest has become a First Night like event. The day begins at 12:00 PM with over 40 Marching Units and Floats and is followed by the Irish Fest.

The Parade and Irish Fest have become the single largest one-day event in the Town of Hoosick with two to three thousand visitors that day. It is also the best day of year for local for local bars, Restaurants and Shops.
