The Mid-Hudson St. Patrick’s Parade will return and be held in the Village of Greenwood Lake on Sun., Sept. 19. Kevin Cummings, who has been chosen as the Grand Marshal and is currently the longest reigning Grand Marshal in the parade’s history, will lead the parade.
The event commences at 9 a.m. with the St. Patrick’s Mass at the Shrine to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel on Wawayanda Ave. in Middletown, NY. This will be followed immediately by the Grand Marshal’s Breakfast at Kuhl’s Highland House on Highland Ave. in Middletown. Upon completion of the morning festivities, the parade will step off in Greenwood Lake.
“We are excited to be welcomed this year to Greenwood Lake and as a bonus, Mayor Jesse Dwyer plans to implement a reception area at/near the end of the parade,” said Kevin M. Strommer, President of the Mid-Hudson St Patrick’s Parade Committee. “The pandemic has been a burden to us all, and celebrating the Patron Saint of Ireland with us on Sept. 19 is a sorely needed remedy.”
