Program Book
Whether you have been a longtime generous supporter of the Holyoke St. Patrick’s Parade or are a new patron, it is thanks to your commitment we have been able to create a memorable “Reunion Weekend” each year.
Each year the Committee works diligently to produce a Parade Program Book. This year, for the first time, the book will be published in full color! This book is full of amazing pictures taken over the course of the “Green Season” which becomes a cherished history of our great parade. The program book is also shared across the country as many people purchase and send them to friends and relatives who are not able to join us.
Because our membership is made up of women and men who come from many Western Massachusetts communities, the Parade Program Book is not only exclusive to Holyoke. We encourage you to use the pages of the book to help gain exposure for your business, as well as making a TAX DEDUCTIBLE contribution to a long honored event.
