The 2020 Rockville Centre St. Patrick’s Parade Postponed
After much thought and consideration, The Rockville Centre St. Patrick’s Parade Board has decided to postpone our annual Parade scheduled for Saturday, March 21st. Recently, the Parade Board met to discuss the ever-changing situation that is currently taking place and have prioritized the well-being of the valued members of the Rockville Centre Community and all those who travel from far and near to join us on this special day. We hope to be marching up Maple Avenue to celebrate our 2020 Grand Marshal, Ellen White, in the near future.
Ellen White shares in our concern for the wellbeing of our Parade community and would like to express her gratitude to the many volunteers who worked so tirelessly on the many events over the last several months and to prepare for the special day. These are uncharted waters and Ellen applauds the wise decision of our Parade board to postpone this year’s Parade and gala in the interest of public health. We look forward to celebrating better times with Ellen and the Rockville Centre community at a rescheduled Parade.
We appreciate everyone’s patience as we chose a new date to celebrate our Irish heritage and the charitable works of our three incredibly deserving charities selected this year. The Rockville Centre Breast Cancer Coalition, Army Ranger Lead the Way Fund and Holy Family School for the Deaf
The Parade Board will be looking to reschedule the Grand Marshal Dinner scheduled for Friday March 20th, the Commemorative Mass scheduled for Parade morning March 21st and other events originally set for the coming weeks and extend a heartfelt thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Please take care of yourselves and each other so that we can come through this stronger and more united.
