Ringwood held its 21st Saint Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 27th.  The early years of this parade you were lucky to have a dozen or so people to show up and/ or participate.  Aye! The famous luck of the Irish has shown up every year to improve the participation in this event.  This year, hundreds of people and pets, all dressed in green, showed up for the unity breakfast, the parade, face painting, and other “Luck of the Irish” events.

The Irish luck was a little delayed this year due to demand of bagpipe bands and St. Catherine's Parish Center being unavailable on the 17th of March.  Ringwood's St. Patrick's Day parade is the only parade in Passaic County to honor the Irish contribution to America.

 The parades Grand Marshall , Terry Duffy, a Passaic County freeholder,  police and fire departments, an American Indian of the Lenape Nation, sports teams, lasses of Irish heritage, and bagpipe bands all wound their way along Skyline Drive.  Skyline Drive was green from hair to balloons even if the parade was delayed by 10 days.

Ringwood’s and Passaic County diverse population came out and supported this wonderful parade and made it a successful event.  Everyone was Irish-for-a-Day.
