Who is the Grand Marshal for the 2025 parade?
At first, Paddy Rooney turned down the prestigious honor of being the grand marshal of the 2025 Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day parade, but he changed his mind after seeing this year's theme.
Rooney emigrated from County Down in Northern Ireland 41 years ago, when he was 23 years old. He quickly became a staple of the Irish community in the region with his quiet generosity.
Today, Rooney owns an Irish pub in Havertown, Delaware County, called Paddy Rooney's.
