Since the advent of COVID-19 in March 2020, the Holyoke St. Patrick’s Parade and Road Race Committees canceled all significant events, including all award banquets, the popular 10K race, and parade that attracts a few hundred thousand spectators.
The road race annually attracts around 7,000 runners who traverse a mostly hilly course through Holyoke’s neighborhoods. However, COVID-19 restrictions forced postponements in 2020 and 2021.
Unlike in 2020, the parade and road race committees did not wait until March to cancel this year’s major events.
At the time, Parade Committee President Marc Joyce fretted about the economic impact on local businesses, especially the loss of revenue for parade week favorites like Brennan’s Place and Francie’s Tavern, which set up large hospitality tents near Maple Street.
The Log Cabin and Delaney House host many of the parade committee’s premier events, such as the Grand Marshal’s Reception, John F. Kennedy Award Banquet, and Grand Colleen Coronation Ball.
The John F. Kennedy National Award Recipient typically presides over the road race’s shotgun start. All 2020 awardees and Grand Colleen and Court remain intact. Parade presidents only serve one year. However, Joyce will enter his third year at the helm.
