The Montgomery County Saint Patrick’s Day Committee has announced that Jackie Rittenhouse (pictured center above) will be the Grand Marshal of the 2025 edition of the Montgomery County Saint Patrick’s Day in Conshohocken. The parade is scheduled for Saturday, March 15th at 2:00 p.m.

Rittenhouse is the second member of her family to serve as the parade’s grand marshal. Her father, Jack Burns, was the Grand Marshal in 1999 when the parade was held on Main Street in Norristown. The parade has been held in Conshohocken since 2006.

To be selected as the Grand Marshal, a person must be of Irish heritage, a resident of Montgomery County, and have a 40-year history of serving the community. The Collegeville resident has volunteered with the Lower Providence Township Volunteer Fire Company since 1979.
