Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Downtown Stroudsburg
This yearly spectacle is a favorite of locals and neighboring visitors—so much so that we wrote about it last year to support our Jim Thorpean brethren!

The procession of marching units, bands, non-profit groups, politicians, and local businesses will begin at the Stroudsburg High School and end at Crystal Street in East Stroudsburg.
