NOMINATE OUR 2027 ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE GRAND MARSHAL!

The Hackettstown Business Improvement District is accepting nominations for the 2027 St. Patrick’s Day Parade Grand Marshal!

Each year, we have the opportunity to recognize a member of our community whose Irish heritage, community involvement, and connection to Hackettstown make them deserving of this special honor.

Who should you nominate?

Think of someone who goes above and beyond for our community — a longtime volunteer, local business owner, community leader, neighbor, organization member, or someone who simply gives their time and talents to make Hackettstown a better place. The nominee should have Irish heritage and meaningful roots in the Hackettstown area, whether through living, working, volunteering, or longstanding family or community connections.

The Grand Marshal will be honored with:

• Marching in the Hometown Holiday Parade as the official announcement of our next Grand Marshal on December 4, 2026
• A special reception in their honor on March 4, 2027
• Leading the 2027 St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday, March 7, 2027

Tell us about the person you think deserves to wear the sash, lead the parade, and represent the spirit of our community!

All nominations must be submitted through the nomination form no later than October 19, 2026.

Whether they are a familiar face around town or someone whose contributions happen quietly behind the scenes, we want to hear about them!
