Westhampton Beach St. Patrick's Day Parade

Westhampton Beach, NY

March 9, 2024

We kicked off our 27th season with the traditional start at the WHB St. Patrick's Day parade on Long Island. While cold it wasn't nearly as brutal as back in 2017 (when it was in the 20s). However, the wind was a challenge and we came out of this sandblasted. The Confederates just about matched our strength due the combined forces of the 9th & 30th Virginias. Best of all, we managed to finish just before the forecasted rain arrived.
