Tierney’s Tavern is rocking on Sunday, March 8, as supporters gather in Montclair to get whistles wet and celebrate Montclair’s Michael Byrne, this year’s Grand Marshall of the parade along Broad Street. Byrne steps down as the Chairman after eight years of work, an anything-but-routine series of behind-the-scenes efforts across the county to create good-will and renewed interest, breathing new life into the event with marching band competitions, creative writing scholarships, and recruiting new parade participants for Friday’s 85th Anniversary Newark St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
