Make sure to give MorristownGreen.com a wave at the Morris County St. Patrick’s Parade on Saturday, and give another one to our special guests — stars from this month’s Morristown Onstage competition!
We are delighted that several finalists from the show — including prize-winners Julianna Belles, Shannon Melody Burns and Victoria Fanning, and Karen Rose from the group Big Radio–are planning to join our merry band.

Other celebrities may fall in line, too, along with our great correspondents and photographers–and maybe even a Uke-A-Like or two.
The MG contingent will be near the back of Division 1, so keep an eye (and ear) out for us! The parade rolls onto South Street from Morristown town hall at noon on March 11, 2017, proceeds to the Green, and concludes at Morristown High School.
