Nutley St. Patrick's Day Parade

Thank you to everyone who helped make our 34th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade a Success! This includes town and local officials, town employees, parade committee, adjutants, donors, band members, marchers, and spectators. It takes an entire community to host a parade, and Nutley is lucky to have the best!

Catherine's Closet Prom Dress Drive

This year, the Nutley Irish will be having a Prom Dress Drive benefiting Catherine’s Closet Inc. Catherine’s Closet is a non-profit organization in Newark that collects donated gowns and dressy dresses as well as formal jewelry and handbags for both girls going to the prom and adults in need. These dresses and accessories are sold and the money raised goes towards scholarships for the students who volunteer within the organization. The Nutley Irish will be collecting dresses and accessories starting now, and will continue throughout the parade season. For more information on the organization, please visit their website:www.catherinescloset.org If you know anyone who would like to donate a lightly worn bridesmaid or prom dress, dressy dress, or accessories that they would like someone else to enjoy, please contact dresses@nutleyirish.com or call Deidre Hollywood 973-418-2908. Local Pickup will be available.
