Join IMFK for the Syracuse St. Patrick’s Parade  ! 🍀 ☘️ 🍀

It’s that time of year again when we all embrace a little Irish spirit—the St. Patrick’s Day Parade is here! And In My Father’s Kitchen is gearing up for another amazing year of marching through the heart of Syracuse.

We’re inviting YOU to be part of this exciting day! On Saturday, March 15th, our fleet of IMFK vehicles will roll down Salina Street, and we want to march together as a strong, unified team—representing hope, love, and support for those who feel invisible.

This is more than just a parade—it’s a statement. A chance to show our community that no one is forgotten. When we step out together, we shine a light on those in need, bringing awareness and encouragement through our presence.

Whether you’ve marched with us before or this is your first time, we’d love to have you alongside us. The more, the merrier! Bring your energy, wear your green, and let’s make this a grand turnout—a celebration of community, compassion, and connection.

If you’re ready to be part of something bigger, email John for all the details at

Let’s hit the streets with purpose, joy, and unity!
