“We’re so excited. Looking back to where we were in 2020 and 2021, I’m not sure if we would still have a committee coming out of COVID. We are bigger and stronger than we have ever been, and that means a lot, a lot of it is because of the city of Easthampton,” said Andrew Covington, secretary of the Greater Easthampton Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee.
The free traditional Irish music session at the Abandoned Building Brewery is scheduled for September 18 from 6 to 8:30 PM.
The 73rd Holyoke St. Patrick’s Parade is scheduled for March 19th, 2023, which is a Sunday.
