When the Newark St. Patrick’s Day parade got started in 1936, it was the only St. Patrick’s Day parade in the state. Seventy-five years later, even though there are now over twenty parades held throughout the month of March from Sussex County to Cape May County, the Irish are still marching in Newark.
An original multi-media dance performance of Zero Point Zero, a lively Centennial Conversation, and an after-hours Night in Rio, are among the Newark Museum highlight events not to be missed in March.
