NYC is the largest hands down. Savanah, Georgia and Boston, MA claim number 2. Philly and Chicago both claim third. I think Houston, Texas and Kansas City say number 4. Can't find anything about the fifth largest. I don't know about all of this ranking business but you can't forget about Chicago. We have 2 parades AND dye our river green, so we might not have the largest parade, but we have a pretty big celebration.

The largest parade in the U.S. is:
New York City 245th Saint Patrick's Day Parade 2007
Saturday, March 17th 2007
"On the streets of New York since 1762 - the oldest, largest, and best in the world" The parade marches up 5th Avenue, clan by clan, from 44th to 86th streets.
Don't just take my word for it, go to the following link, (all about St. Patricks Day parades) and it will tell you the same:

a million. the 1st parade replaced right into a small inner maximum affair 179 years in the past for a set of fellows of Irish background to honor the anniversary of the death of St. Patrick - a Catholic priest. 2. the biggest parade is in manhattan city.

Boston, NYC, Philadelphia (the first held in 1771), Houston, and Chicago are amongst the largest with as many as 10-20K participants.

I would say New York must be the largest... it certainly is the oldest in the U.S.
