The Downtown Buffalo St. Patrick's Day Parade, organized by the United Irish American Association (UIAA), is a highly anticipated annual event in Buffalo, NY that celebrates the Irish contributions to the community and country. With a mission to conduct a family-friendly, religious, patriotic, and civic event, the parade honors Saint Patrick while also showing support for American troops and frontline workers.

The parade features a grand marshal, selected by the UIAA, who leads the procession down Delaware Avenue in the city. Participants can enjoy a day filled with festivities, including a Mass at Saint Joseph's Cathedral, before lining up near the McKinley Monument and marching north on Delaware Avenue. The parade has gained international recognition and continues to be a beloved tradition for residents of Western NY.
