The Newark St. Patrick’s Day Parade, today announced Michael D. Byrne of Montclair as Grand Marshal and Eileen McGinley Hannaford of Basking Ridge as Deputy Grand Marshal of this year’s upcoming parade celebration.

Reviewing stand ceremonies will begin promptly at 12:00 PM, followed by the official parade kick-off at 1:00 PM. The parade will commence on Mulberry Street at the Prudential Center and end in front of the Newark Museum and Washington Park.
This year’s parade is dedicated to the late Francis J. “Frank” Coyne who hailed from County Galway, Ireland and made his first American home in Newark, NJ. A veteran of this parade, having marched in or attended it countless times, this dedication represents a homecoming for Frank, who drew great pride in being someone who lived and worked his entire life in Essex County.
