Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh! 🇮🇪☘🇮🇪 Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!

☘Grand Marshal Monday☘

As we reflect on a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Bay Shore, we extend our heartfelt thanks to this year’s Grand Marshal, Denise Gibson.

Denise truly epitomized what a Grand Marshal should be — not only through her lifelong service and dedication to the Bay Shore community, but also in the grace, pride, and enthusiasm with which she embraced this year’s honor.

She served as an outstanding ambassador for the parade and an inspiration to all who had the pleasure of celebrating alongside her. Denise is a role model for our community, and we are deeply grateful for her leadership and friendship.

We wish her continued happiness and success, and thank her for making this year’s parade so special. ☘️🇮🇪

The 2026 BSBW St. Patrick’s Day Parade was a tremendous success! While the weather was a wee bit mischievous and impish, Erin's sunshine broke through and the community showed up the Irish way. Main Street was flooded by a Sea of Kelly Green, and the Celtic energy and Gaelic spirit was felt from start to finish.

A heartfelt thank you to *everyone* who made the day possible — our parade participants, St. Patrick's Church, local organizations, volunteers, and the many members of the community who came out to celebrate with us. Your support is what makes this tradition so special each year! A special ☘Thank You☘ goes to the Third Precinct of the Suffolk County Police Department for their immense efforts in making this parade a possibility and keeping us all safe throughout the day.

Sláinte! Agus Míle Buíochas! (Health! And a Thousand Thanks!) ☘🇮🇪☘

Oh what a day!! ☘️

☘️Join Us at Noon for the Parade Day Blessing☘️

Before today’s March, the day officially begins with a special Ceremonial Mass at 12:00 p.m. at St. Patrick's Church--the cornerstone to the Parade and the BSBW community.

This Mass will bless the Parade and honor Grand Marshal Denise Gibson. It is a long-standing tradition and the official kickstart to Parade Day!

All are welcome to join us as we begin the celebration with reflection, gratitude, and Irish spirit before the Parade steps off at 2:00 PM. ☘️🇮🇪
