A Look Ahead to the 2026 Parade

INTRODUCING OUR GRAND MARSHAL!

Grand Marshal: Huntington Town Supervisor, Edmund J. “Ed” Smyth

The Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division 4, is proud to announce that Huntington Town Supervisor Edmund J. “Ed” Smyth will serve as the Grand Marshal of the 92nd Annual Huntington St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Supervisor Smyth has been a steadfast leader in the Huntington community, demonstrating a strong commitment to public service, Irish-American heritage, and charitable causes that reflect the mission of the AOH.

Since taking office as Huntington Town Supervisor in 2022, following his tenure on the Town Board, Ed has worked tirelessly to strengthen our community. In addition to his leadership in local government, he is a practicing attorney and a proud U.S. Marine. His dedication to faith, family, and community make him a most deserving Grand Marshal, and we are honored to have him lead our 2026 parade.

The Huntington St. Patrick's Parade is Long Island's oldest and largest, an event made possible not by the Town, but by the dedicated efforts of the Huntington Ancient Order of Hibernians since 1930. The parade’s significant expenses, including band sponsorships and insurance, are funded through the generous support of our community and sponsors via our annual journal.
