Bucks Co St. Patrick’s Day Parade Canceled Due To Forecast

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Organizers of the Bucks County St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which was set to take place in the Bristol and Levittown areas, announced that the parade will be canceled this year due to inclement weather.

Originally set for Saturday, the parade was going to be the first one in two years after other St. Patrick's Day parades had been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"It is with a heavy heart that we make this decision," the organizers said in a statement. "With the unchanging weather forecast we must think of our participants and viewers, and that means we must cancel this year’s parade."

While the parade is canceled, the celebratory Catholic mass will still be taking place at Conwell-Egan Catholic High School, located at 611 Wistar Road, at 8 a.m. on Saturday.

A celebratory party, referred to as a 'Hoolie', will also take place at the Ancient Order of Hibernians, located at 614 Corson Street in Bristol Borough, around noon.

"We hope that you are able to join us for these festivities, and join us for next year’s parade."

The Bucks County parade has been held since 1989. Organizers are looking forward to seeing people at next year's parade.
