The East End Emerald Society’s 12th Annual Jamesport St. Patrick’s Day Parade took place today in Jamesport under mostly clear skies, and temperatures that didn’t rise out of the 30s. Blustery winds resulted in wind chill values in the upper 20s. But that didn’t deter a large crowd from turning out to enjoy this annual March tradition.
Riverhead businessman Brian Stark was grand marshal of the 2026 parade, with aides Earl Truland and Steven Wirth.
Bagpipers, marching bands and fire departments from all over the region were joined by community groups in the parade lineup.
