STREET NAMING HISTORY

One of the oldest traditions of the modern parade is the Street Naming. Beginning in 1956, when the parade was re-established, Church Street was re-named John Costello Boulevard in honor of Ireland’s Prime Minister. The tradition has held ever since.

2025 STREET NAMING
On Sunday, March 16, 2025 at 1:30 p.m. we will conduct our annual Greater New Haven St. Patrick Day Parade in downtown New Haven, CT. Each year it is requested that the City of New Haven rename the streets closest to the reviewing stand at New Haven City Hall and dedicate the renaming in memory of a deceased person who has served the Greater New Haven Irish Community in a positive way. The 2025 street naming is dedicated in honor of these three significant individuals from our Irish community.
William McCabe, 1995 Grand Marshal
William Hacket, 1993 Grand Marshal
Hon. Charles Gill, 1980 Grand Marshal
