Mr. Byrne was presented his Grand Marshal sash by Greenwich Hibernian President Haydn O’Shea and last year’s Grand Marshal Kevin McFadden in front of a sell out crowd of approximately 150 people.
The Greenwich Hibernian Association anticipates a large parade this year with at least 13 bands and many community organizations and police and fire departments participating. The parade will start out at Greenwich Town Hall. It will then proceed up Field Point Road to Route 1, up Route 1 to the top of Greenwich Avenue and then down the length of Greenwich Avenue.
Parade information and updates will be posted on the Greenwich Hibernian’s website: www.greenwichhibernians.org
