The Newark St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee would like to extend our sincere THANK YOU to AOH Monmouth County Division 2 for so generously sharing your picnic area and making us feel so welcomed throughout the day.

Events like these remind us of what the Irish community is all about — coming together, celebrating our heritage, and creating connections that last a lifetime. It was truly a beautiful day surrounded by great people and Irish pride at one of New Jersey’s most iconic venues. ☘️🏇
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, spent time with us, and helped make the day so memorable. We are grateful to be part of such an amazing Irish community.
And while we’re celebrating today, don’t forget to SAVE THE DATE — the Newark St. Patrick’s Day Parade returns on Friday, March 12, 2027! We look forward to making even more memories together. 💚
