NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The rescheduled Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day parade has officially been canceled. On Thursday, March 27, parade officials reported that after monitoring the weather, which is expected to bring storms and the possibility of lightning, the club has decided to cancel citing the public's safety. Bourbon Street frequenters open to French Quarter being pedestrian-only 'This is a disappointing outcome, especially after the long and complex process of rescheduling this year's parade,' said Dickie Burke, president of the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club. 'We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported the effort and helped us get this far.' The parade was originally set to roll on St. Patrick's Day weekend but due to high winds and rain, the krewe set the new date for March 29. Officials add that tremendous coordination went into gaining the necessary approval and handling logistics. Where Y'at this Weekend: Food Fight, Home & Garden Show, Brews, Boils & Bubbles, Rhythm's Fest We also wish to congratulate and recognize our 2025 parade honorees: Grand Marshal Raymond 'Randy' King Jr., Man of the Year James E.

St. Patrick's Day parade canceled as weather scrambles plans
Storms set to enter the New Orleans metro Saturday are scrambling spring festival and parade plans yet again. Why it matters: Can't the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day parade get a break? Sheesh! The big picture: Most of Saturday's storms will move through in the early-morning hours between midnight and 6am, says meteorologist Megan Williams of the National Weather Service's Slidell office. As of midday Thursday, we're not expected to get severe storms, she says, "but I can't rule out that one or two could be severe." "The risk is mostly going to be potential for strong winds and also some locally heavy rainfall." Zoom in: That's made some event planners pull the plug early, so expect cancellations for your weekend. State of play: These are the event changes we know about: The Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day parade, which was already rescheduled once because of weather, has been canceled.

New Orleans to make world's largest pasta bowl
New Orleanians can get a free pasta lunch Friday as part of the city's festivities for St. Joseph's Day. The big picture: The Italian American St. Joseph Society is making what it calls the world's largest bowl of pasta con la sarde at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. It will have 500 pounds of pasta topped with red gravy, sardines, anchovies, pine nuts and breadcrumbs, society president Peter Gilberti tells Axios. The society has been making the dish for years, and it usually feeds about 400 people with plenty of leftovers, he said. Zoom in: David Greco, owner of Mike's Deli and Arthur Avenue Caterers in the Bronx, is leading the cooking team again. He plans to start in the kitchen at 4:30am Friday. The 53rd annual pasta party starts at noon in the hotel's Churchill ballroom. It's a free event with music, wine and dancing. Zoom out: The society's annual parade rolls at 6pm Saturday. It includes a moving St. Joseph's altar. The parade starts at the Hilton and winds through the CDB and French Quarter before returning to the hotel. The procession has been altered due to French Quarter security concerns. Only walking participants — no vehicles — will parade on the Bourbon Street portion, Gilberti tells Axios. The Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Parade has been rescheduled to 10am March 29. It was canceled March 16 due to severe weather.
