The Greenwich Hibernian Association’s annual St. Patrick’s Parade will take place this Sunday, March 19 at 2 p.m., rain, snow or hopefully shine.
The parade will start at 2 p.m. at Greenwich Town Hall when Greenwich Police Detective Mike Rooney blows the starting whistle. Detective Rooney’s family came from County Cork, Ireland in 1821. The parade will proceed along its usual route up Field Point Road, along the Post Road to Greenwich Avenue and then all the way down Greenwich Avenue.
The parade committee is especially grateful to the Town of Greenwich Department of Public Works (DPW) for its efforts in clearing the parade route of snow and ice from the March 14 storm and its plans to clean up any snow predicted for Saturday and early Sunday.
The committee asks the cooperation of those in the parade to refrain from littering the parade route with confetti and candy thrown by marchers and those watching the parade from littering in appreciation of the efforts of DPW in preparing the route for the parade.
Parade information and updates will be posted on the Greenwich Hibernian’s website: greenwichhibernians.org
