On Thursday, March 27, parade officials reported that after monitoring the weather, which is expected to bring storms and the possibility of lightning, the club has decided to cancel citing the public’s safety.
“This is a disappointing outcome, especially after the long and complex process of rescheduling this year’s parade,” said Dickie Burke, president of the Irish Channel St. Patrick’s Day Club. “We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported the effort and helped us get this far.”
The parade was originally set to roll on St. Patrick’s Day weekend but due to high winds and rain, the krewe set the new date for March 29.
Officials add that tremendous coordination went into gaining the necessary approval and handling logistics.
We also wish to congratulate and recognize our 2025 parade honorees: Grand Marshal Raymond ‘Randy’ King Jr., Man of the Year James E. ‘Jimmy’ Kuhn, Queen Bree Rafferty, and her court.
We thank the entire New Orleans community for its continued support and understanding. We look forward to returning in 2026 with renewed energy and the same Irish Channel spirit that’s kept this tradition alive for nearly 80 years.
