Along New Falls Road from St. Joseph the Worker Church in Levittown towards Conwell-Egan Catholic High School in Bristol Township

Come celebrate Irish-American heritage and culture in Bucks County at the 24th Annual Bucks County St. Patrick's Day Parade! The 2012 Grand Marshal is Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor Jim Cawley!

This year's Parade theme is, “Remember Our History, Protect Our Future”. The theme was chosen by the Parade Committee to promote awareness within the local Irish-American community of Tay-Sachs disease, a deadly, genetic disease of the nervous system. Its most common variant, known as infantile Tay-Sachs, causes a rapid deterioration of mental and physical abilities that usually results in death by the age of 4.
