The revival of the St. Patrick s Day parade in New Haven is a fantastic story. The parade was organized in 1842 as the captivating centerpiece of the city s St. Patrick s Day observance, yet it passed from the urban scene in the early 20th century. For 50 years, it faded from memory; however, New Haven s Irish community retained a strong determination to honor its patron saint and celebrate its heritage. In 1956, they breathed new life into the venerable tradition. Within New Haven s St. Patrick s Day Parade, readers will discover the inception of this joyful event and how, over the last half century, it has grown and thrived."
