Statement from Mayor Martin and Chairman Vince McKelvey of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee of Hamilton

It is with great disappointment and regret that after careful consideration of the Hamilton Township St. Patrick’s Day Parade Board of Trustees we announce the cancellation of the 2021 Hamilton St. Patrick’s Day Parade. In the best interest of all involved, including attendees, it was mutually decided that the Parade could not be held safely during the COVID-19 pandemic we continue to face.

While we are saddened that we could not celebrate and honor the 2020 Grand Marshal Jerry Sheridan and Miss St. Patrick Nicole Brown, we remain thankful for the outpouring of support the Parade Committee has continued to receive, particularly from our partners including the Ancient Order of the Hibernians, IBEW Electrical Workers Local Union No. 269, First Bank, and Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union 9. Perhaps most of all, we thank the loyal parade attendees, who we hope stay safe and well during these troubling times. We look forward to safely celebrating St. Patrick’s Day together in 2022. Erin go Bragh!
