The 22nd Annual Long Beach Irish Heritage Day Parade and Festival

Location: Parade route runs along W. Beech Street between Grand Boulevard and Nevada Avenue.  

The Ancient Order of Hibernians invites you to celebrate Irish heritage with a grand parade. Beginning at noon, cheer on bagpipe bands, Irish dancers, and more as they march along W. Beech Street. The band Black 47 will also perform. Vending stations will open early at 10 a.m. to display Celtic jewelry, Guinness products and Irish-themed T-shirts for sale. The heart of the festival will be at Minnesota's Bar and Grill. 

The October parade is the half-way mark until the official celebration of Irish culture on St. Patrick's Day. The Ancient Order of Hibernians is the oldest Catholic Irish-American Organization devoted to upholding the principles of friendship, unity and Christian charity.
