Lake Avenue in St. James was a wee bit crowded on Saturday, March 15. Despite an overcast sky, locals, many adorned with green shirts and accessories, came out in droves to watch the hamlet’s 41st annual St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Hosted by the St. James Chamber of Commerce, the parade was led by Town of Smithtown Superintendent of Highways Robert Murphy, this year’s grand marshal. Elected officials, Scouts, dancers, bands and even some spooky creatures from Deepwell’s Haunted Mansion joined Murphy along the parade route.

Residents along Woodlawn Avenue could also enjoy the parade as participants lined up in and near the Smithtown High School East parking lot and marched up the street before turning onto Lake Avenue and heading toward the St. James train station.

Under a beautiful blue sky, the Town of Huntington celebrated its 91st annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade Sunday, March 9, as sponsored by The Ancient Order of Hibernians. The Huntington parade is the largest and oldest one on Long Island.

This year’s parade was led by Grand Marshal and New York State Assemblyman Keith P. Brown [R-Northport], who kicked off the festivities on New York Avenue. As the parade made its way down a vibrant display of green, white and gold along Main Street, hundreds of community members packed in closely to show their support for the dozens of local businesses, musicians and students marching. The streets were filled with the sounds of bagpipes, dancing, loud cheers and a vibrant display of Irish pride throughout the duration of the afternoon.

Although the route concluded at The Church of St. Patrick, the festivities kept on for hours afterward, as people continued to celebrate their Irish heritage in good spirits.

Spring-like weather provided a “great day for the Irish” in Kings Park on Saturday, March 1.

A few thousand people lined up along the hamlet’s main thoroughfares to cheer on participants in the 15th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Grand Marshal Susan Benjes led the procession and was joined by Scouts, fire department members, elected officials, Irish step dancers and more. Parade participants marched up Lou Avenue and Pulaski Road and continued on Main Street before turning north on Church Street and stopping at William T. Rogers Middle School.

Many spectators, who in the past would visit Main Street Pub for a drink during the parade, stopped by nearby tents to donate to the establishment this year. A few days before the parade, the fire left the bar and Euro Barber Shop with extensive fire, heat and smoke damage. Main Street Pub owner Scott McKinnon and his employees were on hand Saturday to thank those who donated by handing out refreshments.

To prepare for the Christmas season, Santa Claus made his way down Main St. in Port Jefferson to ring in some holiday cheer.

On Sunday, Dec. 1, dancers from nearby schools dressed in their favorite holiday gear while they twirled, spun and danced to some favorite Christmas songs like “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” and marched from the Port Jefferson Rail Road up to the Village Center, for the annual Port Jefferson Santa Parade.

Brought in by a horse-drawn carriage at the end of the show, Santa was accompanied by local businesses, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Mayor Lauren Sheprow, who also marched down Main St. Special guests included Disney princesses, Donald Duck and Goofy, who pranced through the streets, waving to all the good little boys and girls, who eagerly anticipated the man in red.

The parade also included characters from the upcoming Dickens Festival, which is scheduled for next weekend, Dec. 7-8.
