Volunteers Needed at the Parade - if you not marching can you assist with the line of march. You can stay where ever you wish along the parade route. All we ask is that, where ever you are watching the parade from you help to maintain order by asking spectators or nearby Police to ask spectators to not cross through the units and crowd too far into the street. Please call Kevin Donahue at (845) 735- 4105, to let him know what block you will be standing on so he can organize the line of march help.

If you're not Irish, we wish you a Cead Mile Failte (a hundred
thousand  welcomes) and invite you join us as we celebrate St.
Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

Halpin, is now stationed in California having recently returned from the war in Iraq. 

Our Parade is always, in part, dedicated to the people who promote peace in North East Ireland and this year we are expanding it to include the Military Service Personnel of the United States, to those at home and abroad.
