The New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade is an annual parade organized by the Irish Community of New York City to honor Saint Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland while celebrating their Irish culture and heritage.

The parade is composed of thousands of participants from the many Irish cultural organizations and affiliated institutions across New York City, who each march under the banners of their respective groups.

The parade is led each year by a Grand Marshal, and features representation from across the uniformed services in New York City, which each have a significant affinity to the Irish community in New York. These include the 69th New York Infantry Regiment, New York Police Department, Fire Department of the City of New York, New York Correction Department, New York Sanitation Department and New York State Department of Corrections.

The parade also features participants from across the city's political establishment, with the city's Mayors and City Councilors regularly marching in the parade.
