WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NY — The Westhampton Beach St. Patrick's Day Parade, originally scheduled for Saturday, has been postponed until April 2, due to the inclement weather forecast.

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.

Westhampton Beach Village Mayor Maria Moore said she is pleased the parade is back this year.
