TIM ROONEY, JR. NAMED GRAND MARSHAL FOR YONKERS ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE
from Diego IsioTim Rooney, Jr., General Counsel at Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway, has been selected 2015 Grand Marshal for the 60th Annual Yonkers St. Patrick’s Day Parade which take place on McLean Avenue on Saturday, March 21st.

In 2014 the South Broadway St. Patrick’s Day Parade merged with the McLean Avenue Merchant’s Association St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The Parade will be underway on March 21 following a Mass at St. Barnabas High School Chapel on McLean Avenue, when marchers step off at 1:00 p.m. on McLean Avenue west of Bronx River Road.
