Thank you to the people who braved the weather and
came out to cheer on the marchers! Your support was
especially heartwarming on a rainy day! This Parade is
always held the Sunday before St. Patrick’s Day, rain
or shine – so plan to join us again next year for our
22nd Annual Parade on Sunday, March 15, 2020.
The spectators make the day fantastic!
Thank you to everyone who purchased a page in
the journal, bought a t-shirt and gave their time and
energy to make this year’s Parade so special!
As you can see, it took many people to make this
Parade a reality, and to add the special touches that
make it such a beautiful day. We can’t possibly thank
everyone by name, but we certainly appreciate the
hard work and effort! This is a proud Bronx event and we
are so pleased to be a part of this wonderful community.
We’ll see you next year!
