There can be absolutely no doubt that the annual Morris County St. Patrick’s Parade is upon us… here are photos from the 2014 Grand Marshal reception to prove it!

Our thanks to Willie and Robyn Quinn for these colorful shots of all the excitement from the Madison Hotel, where Jeff Rawding was welcomed officially as this year’s Grand Marshal.

The parade, of course, commences this Saturday, March 15, 2014, at noon, and will proceed from Morristown Town Hall up South Street to the Green, concluding at Morristown High School.

Pre-parade entertainment on the Green starts at 10:30 am with Derek Warfield and the Young Wolfe Tones.

By our count, at least 19 bands will keep the music coming during the parade, now in its 36th year.
