Special St. Patrick's Day Parade (Saturday, March 16) Service

St.Patrick's day

You don't need the luck of the Irish to travel to the St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday, March 16th, at 11 AM, thanks to the extra trains we'll be operating in addition to our regular Saturday schedule to and from the parade on our Hudson, Harlem and New Haven Lines.

Please note: On Saturday, March 16th, alcohol will not be allowed all day on trains, platforms and at stations. (MTA Police will enforce this restriction.)

We'll have extra inbound trains to make sure everyone gets to the parade, which begins at 44th Street, a convenient two blocks away from Grand Central Terminal!

After you've cheered yourself green, we'll have additional trains ready to take you home.

We'll also have extra cars on a select number of regularly scheduled inbound and outbound trains to ensure everyone gets to "go green" on time!

We strongly urge our customers to buy their roundtrip rail tickets before boarding at ticket machines and ticket offices. The costs for tickets purchased on board trains are significantly higher.

At select stations with anticipated higher ridership, tickets will be collected prior to boarding the train-see details below.
