Catch a St. Paddy's Day Parade Nearby

There are plenty of St. Patrick's Day parades nearby to choose from.

If you can't get enough of St. Patrick's Day festivities, then you're in luck, because eastern Long Island has an abundance of opportunities to see a parade.

There are short parades, like the Am O'Gansett parade on March 9 that lasts about five minutes, and long, heavily attended parades, like in Montauk on March 17, Westhampton Beach on March 9 and of course the 23rd Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in St. James on March 16 at 1 p.m.

Click the locations below for more details on each parade outside of St. James:
