St. Patrick's Day Parade 2027
The parade is held on March 17 unless it falls on a Sunday, and starts at 11:00. In 2027 it falls on a Wednesday. It runs up Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 79th Street, and traffic is diverted from that stretch during the parade. Arrive early if you want a spot near the start.
Bike Tour and Marathon
The TD Five Boro Bike Tour is on Sunday, May 2, 2027, according to Bike New York. The TCS New York City Marathon is on Sunday, November 7, 2027, according to New York Road Runners. Both close streets across the city, so plan taxis and airport transfers around them.
What else is new in 2027
New York City FC will open Etihad Park, its new stadium, in 2027, according to the club. NYC Restaurant Week returns in winter 2027, according to New York City Tourism + Conventions. Dates for both are announced by the organisers, so check before you book.
Before you book
- Book hotels early for marathon weekend and Thanksgiving week.
- On parade and race days, use the subway rather than taxis near the route.
