SOUTH AMBOY – Mark your calendars for two upcoming South Amboy St. Patrick’s Day parade fundraisers.

Tip-A-Pint afternoon at the Landmark (note new date) will be held on Sunday February 19th from 3-7PM, and Tip-A-Pint Night is happening on Thursday, March 8th 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 10th with a rain date of March 24th.  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 everyone’s favorite holiday, St. Patrick’s Day!
