2026 Providence St. Patrick's Day Parade Pin

The 2026 Providence St. Patrick's Day Parade Pin was inspired by this year's Grand Marshal, Don Kavanagh. The ANCHOR, in the colors of the Irish flag, represents HOPE for the future, similar to the anchor on the Rhode Island State flag. It also represents the twinning Partnership between the City of Providence and the Municipal District of Athlone, County Westmeath, Ireland. This partnership aims to foster closer relationships and collaboration through strengthened cultural, educational, and economic ties. The ROPE represents the ties between all of us, as well as the tie between Providence and Athlone, moving forward in time with the hope of long and prosperous relations.
