Senator Collins Announces Details for This Year’s St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast

The 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast will take place Sunday morning, March 15, at the Ironworkers Union Hall, 195 Old Colony Avenue in South Boston. Beginning at 9:00 a.m., Senator Collins will serve as host, welcoming international, national, state, and local elected officials, faith leaders, and military leaders, including Irish Minister of Defense, Foreign Affairs and Trade Helen McEntee, Archbishop Richard Henning of the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, leaders of the Irish Defence Forces, the Massachusetts National Guard, the USS Barnum, and the USS Massachusetts.
“For the 250th, we’re pulling out all the stops, and I’m honored to host this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast as we mark an important milestone for our community, our Commonwealth, and our country,” said Senator Collins.
“We’re excited to have The Irish Tenors and the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus performing this year, with Curragh’s Fancy, the Woods School of Irish Dance, and the Tryder Sisters adding to the celebration’s tradition of music and song.”
The Breakfast will be broadcast live on television via New England Cable News (NECN), New England Sports Network (NESN), and Boston Neighborhood Network (BNN); on radio via WROL 950 AM and 100.3 FM; and online through Caught in Southie, expanding access for viewers and listeners across the region and the globe.
“We’re grateful to our broadcast partners for helping bring the Breakfast into homes across Massachusetts, New England, and beyond,” said Senator Collins.
Senator Collins also highlighted this year’s local business partners, including Sullivan’s Castle Island, Boston Harbor Distillery, and Castle Island Brewery.
“Our local businesses play a big role in what makes this event special,” Collins said.
“Their continued partnership reflects the strong sense of community that defines South Boston and helps make the Breakfast such a success each year.”
