The Glen Cove St. Patrick’s Day Parade receives NO public or municipal financial support. We depend solely on business and corporate sponsorship and individual donations to the Glen Cove Parade Committee Inc. All parade expenses are paid in this way, and all amounts collected in excess of those expenses are donated directly to carefully chosen charities.
The 2026 parade’s grand marshal is John Cronin, an award-winning entrepreneur, inspiring public speaker, and passionate advocate for people with differing abilities. Born with Down syndrome, John created his own path by co-founding John’s Crazy Socks, John is spreading happiness and showing what people with differing abilities can achieve. His joy is contagious — and purposeful — and his story inspires audiences worldwide.
After paying the Parade’s expenses, all surplus funds raised through our fundraising efforts are donated to charity. Grand Marshal John Cronin has 
chosen the ACDS Foundation as our beneficiary this year. Based in Plainview, ACDS provides a lifecycle of services with the goal of helping individuals develop to their fullest potential.
