The 2020 Yonkers St. Patrick’s Day Parade on McLean Avenue, previously rescheduled for September, has now been cancelled and rescheduled for next year.

In a press release, parade organizers said that on March 10, “when the Parade Board made the very tough decision to reschedule the Parade to September 19, 2020, we truly thought we were making a decision that would safely allow for a beautiful fall parade on McLean Avenue.”

They added, “We don’t feel the Parade can be held safely during these difficult times. So, for the health and well-being of our marchers, spectators, Aides and Grand Marshal we have, with heavy hearts, decided not to hold the parade in September.”

The 2020/21 honorees are: Grand Marshal Patricia McCrudden.

Her aides are: Annmarie Acosta – Irish Music and Dance Educator; Reverend Father William Cleary – Chaplain to the Yonkers Fire Department; Joan Henchy – New York Gaelic Athletic Association; Timothy Hodges – Yonkers Police Department; Sean P. Mayer – Ancient Order of Hibernians, Myles Scully Division 1; Richard McSpedon Jr. – Local 3 IEBW, Westchester Mechanics Association; William J. Saich – Ferncliff Manor; Nancy Walsh – Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians, Our Lady of Knock Division 19;
