I already missed the deadline – the Belmar parade was just held this past Sunday.
Other parades taking place at the shore this year:
Seaside Heights St. Patrick’s Day Parade – Saturday March 14, with a rain date of March 15th. The parade is staged in Seaside Park and marchers begin at the intersection of Porter Ave and Boulevard, proceeds north up Boulevard, pass the reviewing stand at Sheridan and Boulevard, and complete their route at Heiring Ave. The parade begins at noon and ends at 1:30.
North Wildwood – The parade begins at 11:30 a.m. Marchers travel northbound from 10th and Atlantic avenues to Olde New Jersey Avenue, and then conclude at Spruce Avenue.
The lack of a parade in other locales is not for lack of interest. There are also many different kinds of parties being held. For example…
MANASQUAN: Sunday March 15. St. Patrick’s dance party
Dance Craft Studio, 75 Main St., (732) 292-0144 .
The party will feature entertainment by a disc jockey with ballroom, Latin and swing dancing from 8:30 to 11 p.m. The cost is $10 and includes food and refreshments. No partner is needed.
or perhaps something like this suits you if you are in the Cape May area….
The Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May – Corinthian’s annual St. Patrick’s Party on Saturday, March 14 at 6 PM. A buffet meal of Corned Beef and Cabbage, Shepherds’ Pie and pan-Seared Salmon will be served for $21 per person.
Enjoy the parties, have fun and don’t drink and drive!
