Legendary Peacemaker Senator George Mitchell is the Grand Marshal of the 2016 NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade. The Parade community is appreciative of all that he has accomplished in his career, especially his efforts in helping bring about the Good Friday Agreement which took place on April 10, 1998.

The Parade is also excited about this year's fourteen Aides to the Grand Marshal who have demonstrated leadership and acts of giving in their home communities, the greater New York area and Ireland.
