SOUTH AMBOY — Mark your calendars for two upcoming South Amboy St. Patrick’s Day parade fundraisers.
Tip-A-Pint afternoon at the Landmark will be held on Sunday, Feb. 19, (note new date) from 3-7 p.m., and Tip-A-Pint Night is happening on Thursday, March 8, at the Munck-ee Bar in South Amboy. Cost for each event is $20 and includes food, beer, wine, soda, and a special performance from the Col. D.B. Kelly Pipes and Drums. Admission can be paid at the door, no advance sales. All proceeds go to fund the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
This year’s parade steps off at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 10, with a rain date of March 24. Along with numerous marching bands, there will be floats and thousands of marchers. As in years past, the parade promises fun and excitement for all ages, celebrating South Amboy’s rich Irish heritage, and of course, St. Patrick’s Day.
If you have a group interested in being a part of this tradition or for additional information, visit the South Amboy St. Patrick’s Day Parade website at southamboyparade.com or contact the parade committee chairperson, Betty Sturgis at 1-732-261-7350 or rbsturgis@optonline.net.
