The Newport St. Patrick’s Day Parade stepped off f The Newport St. Patrick’s Day Parade stepped off from City Hall Saturday, March 14, but the festivities began the night before at Hibernian Hall with the presentation of the Big Daddy Award.

Established in 1998, the award honors the memory of Neil Sullivan, a Newport native, active member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and a well-liked, cheerful gentleman. It was nice to see his daughter, Sharon, on hand for the event.

The gathering also gives visiting bagpiping bands a chance to perform. Members of the Mystic Pipes & Drums and Colum Cille Pipes & Drums paraded into the hall and thrilled the crowd with lively performances. The Colum Cille band featured an especially strong drum section.

In addition to this year’s Grand Marshals, Tish and Mike Behan, several past Grand Marshals were in the house — well, hall. Jimmy Mahoney (2008) was busy selling raffle tickets, while Chris Behan (2006) checked in with siblings. Father Frank (2024) graciously spent time with everyone despite his busy week of Lenten Masses ahead, and last year’s Grand Marshal Michael Henlyshyn was looking sharp in Kelly green.

The Big Daddy Award is presented annually to the business that serves as the largest financial supporter of the Newport St. Patrick’s Day Parade. That support comes in many forms, including sponsorships, advertisements in the parade booklet, selling parade support hats and buttons, placing collection buckets in businesses, and direct donations.

Since the turn of the century, IHOP Middletown has almost exclusively taken home the honor.

IHOP Middletown is currently undergoing renovations, and we can’t wait to see how the Cardinals fill that famous A-frame building with shamrock hats next year. Sláinte to Bill and Karen Cardinal, two of the parade’s most loyal and enduring champions.

A big tip of our green hat to the parade committee as well. They work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly year after year. Thank you Dennis Sullivan, Glen Cardinal, John Fletcher, Mike Henlyshyn, Suzanne Kissell, Patrick McAuliffe, Dan Titus, and Joe Titus — who is ALWAYS smiling on the inside.

On Saturday, April 18, presented by the Heritage R On Saturday, April 18, presented by the Heritage Restaurant Group, the Philly-based seven-piece band @snacktime is coming to Newport to light up the Jane Pickens Theater.

Fresh off their 2025 set at the Newport Folk Festival and ahead of their 2026 appearance at Lollapalooza, SNACKTIME is returning to Newport ready to bring the energy back to the stage.

In honor of the 4/20 weekend, @newportcannaco and Aquidneck Island-based gummy brand @rhodeisland_rhodies are helping set the tone—presenting the show and including a pack of edibles with every ticket purchase to elevate the experience.

New England-based musician @zanechristopher along with Newport’s own @birdstickband will open the night.

Early bird tickets are $45, increasing to $50 in April.

A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center food bank, as well as the New England Music Organization — the driving force behind Waterfront Concerts in King Park, NeeJam, NIMFest, and the Broadway Street Fair stage each year. Supporting sponsors include Newport Craft Brewing, Canncure, Coast Cannabis, and Talaria, all planning product giveaways in support of the event.

SNACKTIME got their start performing free shows in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square in the summer of 2020, quickly drawing large crowds. They went on to sell out their first headlining club show with over 900 tickets, and have since continued that momentum—supporting national touring acts like Portugal The Man and performing at major festivals including Life Is Beautiful, Sound on Sound, Sea.Hear.Now., and Firefly.
