St. Pat's Parade Set for March 9

The 80th annual Huntington St. Patrick's Day Parade will kick off at 2 p.m. Sunday March 9. 

Marchers will head go from just north of the LIRR station to Main Street, turn west and end at St. Patrick's Church.

Grand marshall is Dominick Feeney, the fourth member of his family to lead the huge Ancient Order of Hibernians parade. 

AOH Treasurer, Rich McGrath adds, "many residents mistakenly think the Town sponsors the parade each year, but in truth it's actually the Hibernians who organize, promote, run and raise the money needed to pay for all the expenses associated with putting on this spectacular parade. Each year, the Hibernians go door to door soliciting donations from local businesses for advertisements which appear in this special St. Patrick's Day Parade edition of the Long Islander and Record. It is these generous ad sponsors that enable us to run the parade, so we hope folks support their businesses."
