WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NY — Who's ready to cheer on the Coneheads?
The Coneheads, who've appeared on floats in the Westhampton Beach St. Patrick's Day Parade since 1978, are just one of the many highlights of the beloved annual event, set to kick off Saturday at noon after being rescheduled due to inclement weather.
The 2022 Grand Marshal, Preston Jankowski, was originally planned to serve in the post in 2020, before plans were derailed for two years due to the coronavirus.
