2026 GRAND MARSHAL, HUNTINGTON TOWN SUPERVISOR, EDMUND J. "ED" SMYTH

The Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division 4, is deeply honored to recognize our 2026 Grand Marshal, Huntington Town Supervisor Edmund J. “Ed” Smyth. This prestigious distinction is awarded to an individual whose commitment to our town and the Irish-American community embodies our core values of Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity. We cordially invite you to join us at the Grand Marshal’s Ball—a cornerstone of the Huntington social calendar—for a memorable evening of celebration, fellowship, and rich Irish tradition as we pay tribute to Supervisor Smyth’s steadfast leadership and dedicated service.

As the premier event of the season, the Grand Marshal's Ball officially kicks off the St. Patrick's Day festivities in Huntington. It serves as a vital gathering to honor a distinguished community pillar and celebrate our collective cultural heritage. The funds raised during this gala are essential in sustaining Long Island's oldest and largest St. Patrick's Day Parade. Your participation and generosity ensure that this cherished 92-year tradition continues to march through our streets, inspiring pride in our ancestry and our community for generations to come.
