Thank You for a Spectacular 2026 Parade & Ball!

Celebrating Our 2026 Grand Marshal,

EDMUND J. “ED” SMYTH

HUNTINGTON TOWN SUPERVISOR

The Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division 4, extends our deepest gratitude to everyone who made the 2026 Huntington St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Grand Marshal’s Ball an overwhelming success. It was a tremendous weekend celebrating our heritage, and we were honored to be led by our 2026 Grand Marshal, Huntington Town Supervisor Edmund J. “Ed” Smyth.

Supervisor Smyth is a steadfast leader with deep roots in the community, demonstrating a strong commitment to public service and Irish-American heritage. His time as Grand Marshal reflected not only his dedication to improving the lives of Huntington residents but also his long-standing support of charitable causes and community traditions that align with the mission of the AOH.

Serving as Huntington’s Town Supervisor since 2022, Ed has worked tirelessly to keep Huntington a safe, vibrant, and family-centered community. Prior to his election as Supervisor, he served as a respected member of the Town Board, earning recognition for his balanced leadership, fiscal responsibility, and focus on improving the quality of life for all residents.

Beyond his public service in local government, Supervisor Smyth is a practicing attorney and a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps. His military service reflects the discipline, integrity, and courage he continues to bring to his role as a civic leader. Both in the courtroom and in the Supervisor’s office, Ed demonstrates a deep respect for the law, a commitment to fairness, and an unwavering dedication to serving others.

A lifelong Long Islander with strong Irish-American roots, Supervisor Smyth remains closely connected to his heritage. He supports numerous civic, cultural, and charitable organizations throughout Huntington, embodying the values of faith, family, and friendship that are central to the AOH. His leadership has built bridges across community groups, making him a unifying figure for Huntington’s diverse residents.

In addition to his public service, Ed is a devoted husband and father, deeply committed to ensuring that Huntington remains a place where families can thrive. His career, service, and character have made a lasting impact on the town, and honoring him as our 2026 Grand Marshal was a true privilege.

We are incredibly proud to have celebrated Supervisor Smyth’s leadership, and we thank the people of Huntington for lining the streets, attending the Ball, and joining us in making this year's traditions unforgettable.
