On Friday, March 14th, Rock Hill Country Club echoed with laughter, music, and a vibrant celebration of Irish culture at this year’s Saint Patrick’s Gala. The event, which honored Grand Marshal Mark Danowski, was a resounding success, drawing a crowd eager to engage in the festivities.

The evening was alive with live music from Chain Reaction, whose live music kept attendees on their feet and filled the dance floor.

Guests were treated to a buffet dinner, showcasing a delightful array of culinary offerings that paid homage to traditional Irish cuisine. The ambiance was further enhanced by the spectacular performances of talented Irish step dancers, who captivated the audience with their skillful footwork and joyful spirit.

Adding to the evening’s charm was the event’s professional photographer from KCollections Photography, who skillfully captured the festivities, ensuring that memories from this wonderful evening would live on.

The 2025 Saint Patrick’s Gala celebrated not only the rich traditions of Ireland but also the strong sense of community that defines us.

Thanks to everyone involved in organizing this event, and congratulations to Mark Danowski for his recognition as this year’s Grand Marshal.

On June 9, 2024, The Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches threw its annual Spring Fair, a lively event that braved the rainy and windy morning weather. Despite the rough start, the day turned into a fun-filled late morning and afternoon, buzzing with community spirit and engagement.

The awesome martial arts performances by the kids from Empower Martial Arts & Fitness brought a cool kick of athleticism and excitement to the fair. The local children wowed the crowd with their impressive skills, giving everyone a good time. Even with the rain and wind causing trouble in the morning, the performances were spot-on, adding an extra level of challenge and bravery to the show.

Bank Street Park became a hub of culture during the fair, hosting an art show that showcased the creativity and talent of local artists. Visitors could check out and buy unique pieces of art, adding a splash of artistic flair to the event.

A major highlight of the day was the Annual Strawberry Festival fundraiser hosted by CMFD Company One, where folks savored delicious Strawberry Shortcakes donated by Nettie’s Bakery for a good cause. The fundraiser not only pleased taste buds but also highlighted the community’s generous and supportive spirit.

Despite the rocky start with the weather, the Spring Fair transformed into a memorable gathering that embraced the diversity and liveliness of the community. From great music to the martial arts performances and the artsy vibes of the art show, the event created a space for making connections, having fun, and celebrating together.

The Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches’ Spring Fair embodied the community’s resilience, togetherness, and creative spirit. As people mixed, shopped, danced, and laughed together, the day echoed with shared joy and experiences that strengthened the community bonds. 

Our next fair will be out Fall Festival, which will be held on October 20th!

Don’t forget to join us for our Summer Concerts this July through August taking place in both Center Moriches and East Moriches.

We hope to see you there!
