James “Jimmy” Feeney
James “Jimmy” Feeney was selected as the Grand Marshal of the 2024 Greater Bridgeport. St. Patrick’s Day Parade by the past Grand Marshals.
Jimmy has been a resident of Fairfield for over 20 years and has been active in the Irish American community during that time.
Jimmy whose ancestors hail from County Mayo in Ireland is the long serving President of the St. Patrick’s Irish Football and Hurling Club and in this position has been responsible for introducing a generation of local youths to the history and culture of traditional Irish sports.
Jimmy is also a supporter of traditional Irish music as can be attested to by the fact his four children are masters of Irish musical instruments and can frequently be found performing in local Irish charitable and cultural events.
Jimmy is also a long time member of the Fairfield Gaelic American Club and has been active in its activities. Jimmy has attended many Greater Bridgeport St. Patrick’s Day Parades over the years and should be very familiar to the members of the Parade Committee.
Jimmy is a graduate of New York Law School and presently practices law in New York City. Jimmy also proudly served his country as a Major in the United States Marine Corps.
Congratulations Grand Marshal Jimmy Feeney!
