Anthony Sosinski, riding a unicycle while playing the tuba, was a bit of a show-stealer at Sunday's Montauk Friends of Erin St. Patrick's Day Parade.

 

Accompanied by his grandsons, this year's grand marshal, Joe Bloecker, led off the procession.

 

The Creative Edge dance studio's float was a vision in green.

 

The marchers from the Montauk Fire Department were having a grand time.

 

The Kiwanis Club of East Hampton had a Meet the Bloeckers theme for its float.

 

The Candied Anchor has made a name for itself with artfully constructed floats that are a knockout every year.

 

The Amityville Highland Pipe Band has been part of the Montauk parade's soundtrack for decades.

A spectator got an added bit of Kelly green on her cheek.

 

The always irreverent Promised Land Salvage Co. was true to form with its 2025 float.
