On Sunday, March 13, the Bayport-Blue Point Chamber of Commerce’s 33rd annual St. Patrick’s parade was held on a sunny afternoon, perfect for event-goers to celebrate the occasion for the community.

Grand marshal Constance Haab led the parade with her family in tow, in vintage vehicles from the Bayport Fire Department.

As is tradition, the parade started on Montauk Highway and Snedecor Avenue in Bayport and ended at Montauk Highway and Blue Point Avenue in Blue Point, where event-goers were invited to Cavanaugh’s for a continued celebration.

Suffolk County police had sent out a press release warning of road closures two hours before the start of the parade at 9 a.m.

Among chamber businesses that marched were: Momo’s Too, Bryn Elliott of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, Little Angels Speech Therapy Center, Bayport Flower Houses, Tiny Tots Learning Center, Fontana Concrete, Releve Dance Center, Therm-a-Trol, and The Fish Store.

With the warmer winter weather and calm skies, many of Bayport-Blue Point’s canine community members were out to enjoy the festivities, dressed in green apparel and being good boys and girls as the floats marched on.

BBP Chamber president Rob Welsh said,I would like to thank Lenore Ringer-Prezioso and everybody who contributed to making the Bayport Blue Point Saint Patrick's parade a huge success.
