• ​​​2024 Nutley St. Patrick's Day Parade Dignitaries:

As you all know, the Officers and Trustees met over the summer to choose the 2024 Nutley St. Patrick’s Day Dignitaries. Last night,

President Deidre Hollywood was able to officially make the announcement at our general meeting. This is a special group. We are proud and excited

to have them represent our organization. Each one of these people do so much for the community, yet are more of the “behind the scenes” type

people. They are all so humble, they didn’t think they deserved this honor.  We are proud to be able to put them all in the spotlight and give them the

recognition and honor that they deserve!

 

We present to you the 2024 Nutley St. Patrick's Day Parade Dignitaries!

 

Grand Marshal – Det. Capt. Robert Irwin, Nutley Police Department

Deputy Grand Marshal – Maureen Callaghan

Member of the Year – Barbara O'Halloran

Firefighter of the Year – Lt. Gabe Miller, Nutley Fire Department

Parade Queen – Tara Catherine Reid 

 

• ​ShamrockFest​​​:

Saturday, October 14th will be our annual ShamrockFest at the Nutley Parks and Rec, 44 Park Ave in Nutley, 7-11 PM. 

This year we are shaking up the shamrocks a bit and we are going to make it a "Halfway-ish to St. Patrick's Day" Celebration!  The food will still be

catered by The Brownstone, but we will be having a more traditional St. Patrick's Day menu of corned beef and cabbage (& roasted chicken) with

some of the best split pea soup you'll ever have!  We are really embracing our shamrock theme, and look forward to introducing to the community

our 2024 Parade Dignitaries! Feel free to bring your own refreshments. Entertainment will also be provided.  Tickets are $40 per person and will be

available at Thursday’s meeting. If you can’t make the meeting, email Colleen Nielsen at nutleyirish@gmail.com for tickets or any additional

information. All tickets will need to be paid by October 9th.
