The St. Patrick’s Parade Committee of Rockville Centre was joined by the community on the night of Feb. 28 to light the tall tree outside of Village Hall. The green lights and shamrocks around the tree symbolize the start of March, which brings St. Patrick’s Day and the beloved “parade that cares and shares.”
Mayor Francis Murray, village trustee Katie Conlon, Legislator Scott Davis and representatives from SIBSPlace joined the neighborhood at the tree lighting to bring in the celebrations of March, which highlights the Irish heritage of many in the community, as well as Women’s History Month. Many people from the community came to “light up RVC green,” and the tree will be lit up for the duration of the month.
The village is preparing for its big parade on March 22 to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and the three local charities the parade is supporting this year — SIBSPlace, the Remember Nolan Project and the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.
