Bayonne St. Patrick’s Parade Committee

P.O. Box 4043  Bayonne, NJ  07002

 Sponsors: County Cork Association, County Donegal Association, Ireland 32, Irish American League

 Dear Friends,

As you may already know, our committee is once again getting ready to march up Broadway for the 27th Annual Bayonne St. Patrick’s Parade.  This year our parade will take place on Sunday, March 16th and will be led by our Grand Marshal, Carmine Borzelli.  

Almost as old as our parade is, the post-parade celebration will be held at St. Mary’s School Hall on 13th Street.  The doors will be open from 2:30-5:00 pm.  Admission is $10.00 per person over the age of 16.  This unique celebration offers a final salute to the Grand Marshal and his Aides with bagpipe bands, dancing, food and refreshments.  It is also a wonderful time for parade marchers and spectators to reminisce with old friends and enjoy an opportunity for the children to enjoy the culture of the day.                                               

Enclosed is a copy of our last program that is distributed to each of the 300-400 guests that attended our post-parade party.  Through the sponsorship of these businesses, we can offset some of the expenses incurred with the parade party.  If you have advertised with us in the past, we hope to have your continued support and always welcome new sponsors.  Minimum space is available at $25.00, $50.00 and $100.00 on a first come, first serve basis.  Corporate sponsors are also available for $250.00.                                                                                                                        

Our committee is diligently planning every detail to ensure our 27th parade on March 16th will be another tremendous success.  Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at: (201) 852-5686

Thank you for your support.

Bayonne celebrates "Saint Patrick's Month" with a number of March activities building up to and following their beloved parade held the first Sunday after March 17. Among these are a ceremonial raising of the Irish flag over the Municipal Building, the official re-naming of the parade route to Saint Patrick's Way, and the display of Irish crystal, china, and other imports in the building's lobby. The Grand Marshal, selected by committee vote in January, is invested with an official sash and walking stick at a brunch attended by about 250 people on the last Sunday in February. On the morning of the parade, a special Mass, beginning with a procession of the Grand Marshal and his aides, is hosted by one of four sponsoring Catholic churches. The parade itself includes ten bagpipe bands and several marching bands, along with contingents from the police force and fire department. Local schools, sports groups, and scouts participate as well. At the conclusion of the parade, a two-hour party that is attended by more than 1,000 people is held at a local high school. This event is a family tradition for many Bayonne residents and a homecoming for former residents. Corned beef sandwiches are served, Irish dancing is performed by local students, and the bagpipers who marched in the parade all mass together in the gym for a grand finale of Irish tunes. The parade is broadcast on television ten times during the following weeks. It has been held each year since 1882 following a 71-year hiatus.
