Norfolk Parade

"Why don’t we have a parade to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?"

Those few words were spoken on a Saturday afternoon in March, 1967 when several Brother Knights of Father Kealey Council 3548 were sitting at the bar of their one-room, cinder block home on Government Avenue in Norfolk, VA.

The words, repeatedly spoken launched one of Norfolk’s most enduring traditions.

Based on local legend, the first parade consisted of several Brother Knights marching around the council home carrying trash can lids and brooms. Following several trips around the building and several stops for liquid refreshment, a momentous decision was made: Father Kealey Council would organize and sponsor a "real" St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
