The green stripe returned to West Orange last weekend. On Sunday, the 72nd annual West Orange St. Patrick's Day Parade brought the community together to celebrate Irish heritage and the local tradition of painting a bright green stripe down Main Street.

The North Wildwood St. Patrick’s Day parade is Saturday, March 15, following a 12 p.m. ceremony at City Hall. The parade route heads north on Atlantic Avenue to 1st Avenue and west on 1st Avenue to Olde New Jersey Avenue, concluding at Spruce and Olde New Jersey avenues.

The St. Pat’s for All parade started when the more famous Fifth Avenue parade barred queer groups. Twenty-six years later, it welcomes Palestinian solidarity organizations.
