Saint Patrick's Day Festivities Offered All Day on Friday, March 17, in Kamm's Corners

See the new parade route and tips for enjoying it, here.
Remember to "go green" in more ways than one by leaving your car at home. Use public transit, Uber, Lyft, or walk to Kamm's Corners' pubs and restaurants. If you must drive, please park in the municipal parking lot behind Walgreens or other legal parking areas. Cars will be towed from Kamms Plaza by Marc's if their drivers are not shopping at Marc's. Stay safe!
