CHICAGO – Street pole banners are now available for purchase for the South Side Irish St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Residents are invited to purchase a street pole banner emblazoned with their family name that will fly along the parade route on Western Avenue between 103rd and 115th streets, or on 111th street between Western and Pulaski.

The 47th annual South Side Irish Parade will step off at noon Sunday, March 16.

Only a limited number of banners are available, so order yours today. New customized banners are $250; renewals are $120. To purchase a new street pole banner or a 2025 renewal, visit South Side Irish St. Patrick Day Parade Banners.

While best efforts will be made to place banners at preferred locations, the parade committee does not guarantee placement.

The street pole banners are a precursor to the pre-parade fundraiser Saturday, Feb. 22, from 3 to 8 p.m. at 115 Bourbon Street, 3359 W. 115th St., Merrionette Park. Tickets are $50 and include a dinner buffet, beer and wine. The party will also feature raffle prizes and the announcement of the 2025 South Side Irish Parade Queen/ Live music will be provided by Sean and Charlie and Whiskey Mick.

Buy tickets at the door or purchase in advance from the South Side Irish Parade Pre-Parade Fundraiser store. Proceeds from the fundraiser will help offset parade costs.
