NEW JERSEY - Following the COVID-related cancellations of scores of festivities in 2020 and 2021, Garden State residents are prepared to take to the streets decked in green this year for St. Patrick’s Day.
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17 annually, although parades and adjacent festivities take place throughout the month. Some of New Jersey’s largest, including those in Jersey City, Newark and Belmar, are set to return after a long hiatus.
