🍀 North Fork Parades and Events


Cutchogue St. Patrick’s Day Parade – This is the main annual St. Patrick’s Day parade on the North Fork. It’s been growing for two decades and brings the community together with marching bands, civic groups, fire departments, and loads of green! It typically steps off mid‑March (for example in 2026 it was scheduled for Saturday, March 14 at 2 p.m. down Route 25 from Cox Lane through Cutchogue Village). 


58th Annual Westhampton Beach St. Patrick’s Day Parade takes place on Saturday, March 14, 2026 with a noon step‑off.

It usually begins near Westhampton Beach Elementary School on Mill Road and proceeds along Montauk Highway.


Jamesport St. Patrick’s Day Parade – Another North Fork parade celebrates Irish heritage with local participants and music in Jamesport, usually later in March (in past years around March 26 at 1 p.m. on Main Road).
