Saint Patrick’s Day Luncheon Returns To In-Person Gathering In Long Valley

LONG VALLEY, NJ — For the first time since the pandemic, the Washington Township Recreation Department will celebrate St. Patrick's Day in person on March 17 with their Annual St. Patrick's Day Luncheon.

The Long Valley Presbyterian Church, 39 Bartley Road, Long Valley, will host a "luck of the Irish" luncheon at 11 a.m. The "Valley Restaurant & Pub" will cater an American-Irish Traditional Lunch, keeping Lent attendees in mind as well, officials said.

"Due to the pandemic; Covid-19, our meals had a To-Go only option. However, we are putting this behind us and it is not an option this year," the recreation department said.

The featured entertainment at the community event will be Kenny Cunningham, a solo acoustic guitarist and singer/songwriter from Liverpool, England. Cunningham has performed all over the world and, with his distinct voice and fingerpicking guitar style, will bring a taste of Ireland to the celebration.

Those interested must be preregistered for this luncheon. A nonrefundable resident fee of $13 and/or $15 for non-residents must be received by the deadline of March 13. All checks must be made out to “W.T. Recreation” and dropped off or mailed to:
