Rumson St. Patrick's Day Parade

Our History

The Rumson St. Patrick's Day Parade is a festive family-friendly event that attracts thousands of spectators from neighboring towns and beyond.

The dream of a parade was originally expressed by the one-time owner of Molly Maguire's Black Point Inn who yearned to have a procession directly in front of her restaurant.  After reading of her vision in a local paper, parade founder Mike Larkin took the necessary steps to turn this dream a reality. 

Upon receiving full support from the Mayor and Town Council, the first-ever Rumson St. Patrick's Day Parade took place on March 10, 2013. With a Grand Marshal, seven bagpipe bands, 720 marchers, and over 4,000 spectators, the one hour and fifteen-minute parade was a huge success!

In just eight short years, the parade has nearly tripled in size and has become a beloved annual event that people of all ages have come to cherish.

As a non-profit corporation, the mission of The Rumson St. Patrick’s Day Parade is to celebrate Irish heritage and provide charitable gifts to local organizations that improve the Greater Rumson community. 

To date, the Parade has provided financial support to over 22 local organizations that also believe strongly in the spirit of giving. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, individual donors, corporate sponsors, participants and volunteers, the Rumson St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a community event that will continue to give back for decades to come.
