VILLAGE OF MAMARONECK, NY — Everyone knows that the Sound Shore St. Patrick's Day Parade is a good time, but there are a few things we can do to help make sure it's once again a safe and successful celebration.

The 11th Annual Sound Shore St. Patrick's Day Parade will be taking place in the Village of Mamaroneck in just two weeks, and the village put together some important information for the public to know about in advance.

The village says that the community event that is organized and sponsored by the Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Committee is something residents, businesses and visitors are eagerly anticipating.

The Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Parade is scheduled to kick off on Mamaroneck Avenue by the Mamaroneck Avenue School at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 19. In case of rain or inclement weather on March 19, then Sunday, March 26 will be the rain date.

When the parking lot at Harbor Island Park reaches capacity on the day of the parade, the Parks and Recreation Department will close the parking lot, and vehicles will need to find legal parking on neighboring streets.
