2025 GRAND MARSHAL / TODD FAULKNER

The St.Patrick Parade and Scholarship Committee @ Hamilton has named Todd Faulkner as its 2025 Grand Marshal.

Todd grew up in Northern Massachusetts where he attended college, worked for Brown Brothers Harriman in Boston for 15 years, and met his wife, Maureen. Todd and Maureen married in 2003 and have two children, Caleb and Maeve.

In 2006, Todd and Maureen moved to New Jersey where Todd managed two different restaurants. In 2008, Todd earned his BA from Rider University with Magna Cum Laude distinction and received the President's Award in the Continuing Studies program.

Todd and Maureen purchased the iconic Irish Pub Tir na nOg from the Billy Briggs family in 2012. Since then, they have received tremendous reviews from the patrons and have been recognized in both local and national publications as they strive to make the pub a welcoming place for everyone to enjoy being Irish. The couple continue to host many annual events including a huge St. Patrick's Day party, a Half-way to St. Patrick's Day celebration, Ambassador Day, and a New Year's Eve party that rings in the New Year when the clock strikes midnight in Dublin!

Over the years, Todd and Maureen have supported many non-profit organizations such as the Susan G. Koman Foundation, and the Billy Briggs Scholarship. Tood and his family are proud members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and enjoy honoring their Irish heritage.
