MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
As the old proverb goes, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." With that in mind, we can all attest to this month's lion-like start - and no doubt we all share the same hope for March's lamb-like closing. However, regardless of the weather, March often brings with it several events that many of us look forward to each year. For example, Sea Isle City's annual Saint Patrick's Day Parade takes place this Saturday, March 17, at 3:30 p.m. along Landis Avenue from 83rd to 63rd Street. This year's parade will once again feature a variety of festive participants that will delight spectators along the parade route, including an Irish bagpipe brigade, the Ancient Order of Hibernians Color Guard, Sea Isle's 2018 "Irish Royal Family," Grand Marshal Bill Johnson, and many others. There will also be a 'Best Dressed Irish" competition at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, which will be open to the public, and an Irish Celebration immediately after the parade. So, don your favorite Celtic sweater or green derby and join the festivities this Saturday! <<READ MORE>>
