Delmarva Irish-American Club
Ocean City St. Patrick's Day Parade
The Delmarva Irish-American Club (DIAC) was founded in 1980 by a group of friends with the vision of celebrating the Feast Day of St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland, with a Parade much the same as larger cities like New York, Boston and Baltimore.
The DIAC is an all volunteer local charity that is responsible for the Ocean City St. Patrick's Day Parade. Proceeds from the clubs various endeavors are spent to support other worthy local charities including high school graduation scholarships.
