NYC St Patrick's Day Parade
Preserves Its 259 Years of Traditions
In
the early hours of St
Patrick’s Day, a group
of approx. 10 Parade
committee members (observing
social distancing) proudly
marched, with a small escort
from the “Fighting
69th” Regiment of New York,
led by Regimental Piper Joe
Brady, from 26th Street to
St Patrick’s Cathedral in
Manhattan to preserve the
proud 259 year tradition of
the
NYC Saint Patrick’s Day Parade
marching on the streets of
New York City, every year
since 1762.
Leading the symbolic New York City St. Patrick's Day with the Parade's
banner were Malachy
McAllister Co Tyrone, Sean
Lane Co Galway and Hilary
Beirne from Boyle, Co
Roscommon.

Statement by
Hilary Beirne
We are proud to
say, we had a St

parade March

parade
nonetheless.
We are proud to
have been there,
doing what we do
for all New

ensuring the
City and the
community puts
its best foot
forward in these
difficult
times.
I want to
express our

City and State
governments for
their input, as
well as the
police
department for
the escort.
I particularly
want to thank
the C.O. of the
69th Regiment
and those who marched with us!
We marched from
the 69th
regiment armory
at 26th Street
to St Patrick's
Cathedral for a
blessing and
then to the end
of the parade
route at 82nd
Street, thereby
preserving a
time-honored New
York tradition,
that is the
Parade marching
on the streets
of New York City

1762.
"The tradition
of marching on
the streets of
New York for 259
years is still
intact!!!!"
