Irish eyes were smiling on Atlantic City for the 36th Annual Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, held Saturday, March 9, 2024, on the world-famous boardwalk. Hundreds of participants and floats made the procession from Ocean Casino Resort to Stockton University on Albany Ave as thousands lined the parade route to enjoy the celebration.
The festivities began early at The Irish Pub as fans waited in line to meet Kelsey Grammer. The award-winning actor and founder of Faith American Brewing Company spent the morning signing autographs for adorning fans.
Grammer was one of two Grand Marshals for this year’s parade, along with Steve Troiano, business owner and proprietor of Maynard’s Café in Margate. Other participants included Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr., State Assemblyman Don Guardian, council leaders representing Ventnor and Somers Point, along with police and first responders.
