Huntington
The Huntington Parade will take place on March, 9th at 2pm Over the past 79 years, the parade has grown to become the oldest and largest on Long Island. While there are only a few folks around who remember that first St. Patrick’s day parade, they will tell you that it is the day Huntington puts her best face forward and everyone has a wee bit of Irish in them. Each year up to 50,000 current and former residents jam Huntington Village for this wonderful family and community event. More important than ever, the Parade is also a tremendous catalyst to the local Huntington economy, with spectators packing the local restaurants, shops, and pubs. The Parade Route will start just north of the Huntington Train Station along New York Avenue before turning west onto Main Street ending at Saint Patrick’s Church.
