Who We Are - Glenside St. Patrick's Day Parade Association
Meet the 2026 Parade & Festival Team
The Glenside St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Festival is made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers, local leaders, and business owners who work year-round to bring this celebration to life.
Following the success of our inaugural 2025 parade, many of the same core committee members returned to continue building and expanding the event for 2026. From sponsorship outreach and vendor coordination to parade logistics, entertainment booking, marketing, and township collaboration, our team meets regularly and works behind the scenes all year long to ensure a safe, organized, and memorable experience for the entire community.
Our committee includes representatives from several well-known local organizations and businesses, including Cummins School of Irish Dance, Marry Me Philadelphia, Keswick Collective, William R. May Funeral Home, Gerhard’s Appliances, Foehl & Eyre Law Offices, Tom Hendel Keller Williams Real Estate, and the ALS Hope Foundation.
Committee responsibilities are divided across key areas, including sponsorships, vendors, parade operations, entertainment, merchandising, marketing, and community coordination. Our work includes managing vendor applications, securing sponsors, booking musical acts, designing promotional materials, overseeing merchandise sales, maintaining the website and social media, and coordinating with township and public safety partners.
We are proud to be a team rooted in Glenside, committed to community, and passionate about keeping this tradition strong for years to come.
