St. Pat’s parade set for March 7

The Town of Highlands Saint Patrick’s Parade Association is ready for this year’s Saint Patrick’s Parade — it will take place on Saturday, March 7, starting at 2 p.m. 

The parade will step off at My Town Marketplace and head north to Thayer Gate, and feature local groups of marchers, bagpipes, floats, emergency services and more. The organizers are still looking for marching groups to participate in the parade, and a few volunteers to help it run smoothly.  As well, local businesses are being urged to decorate for the event, 

To get involved, visit the group’s Facebook page — Town of Highlands Saint Patrick’s Parade — or call George Fallon at 845-774-5791. 

There are also parade t-shirts ($20), pint glasses and 60/40 raffle tickets that can be purchased via the Facebook page.
