Morris County's St. Patrick's Day Parade

Trend Motors has sponsored and participated in Morris County's St. Patrick's Day Parade for over a decade and we receive an incredible turnout every year!

The Grand Marshall of the Parade was John J. Murphy (pictured right).

The parade started around South Street and headed up to Morristown Green, ending at Atno Avenue.

In addition to Trend's convoy of convertibles and other Volkswagens and even our own float, there were about 20 bands with about 70,000 in attendance either in the parade or as spectators last year.

Mother Nature came through and provided clear skies for the 2018 St. Patrick's Day Parade, with pleasant temperatures and cool breezes. Overall, it was a great day to celebrate with the Irish and their friends as we recognized their contribution in building a great America.

We celebrated the 4th consecutive year sponsoring Morristown's Festival on the Green. This year featured the accessory trailer where Volkswagen gear was available to purchase at discounted prices as well as a chance to spin the prize wheel. Volkswagen's brand new Golf Alltrack also made an appearance along with several Trend vehicles for this special occasion.

Trend Motors was happy to have been a sponsor for Rockaway Borough's 13th annual National Night Out on August 5th. This is the 6th year that Trend Motors was involved in this great event about crime and drug prevention awareness. Beach Street buzzed as residents gathered at Fireman's Field from 6 to 9 p.m. to enjoy various activities including game tents, inflatable rides, and a police dog demonstration.

Trend Motors proudly sponsored the Morris County Police Chiefs Association fundraiser golf outing at Black Bear in Franklin, NJ. Participants were gunning for a hole-in-one for a chance to win a BRAND NEW 2013 Passat! A few came close, but ultimately the Passat came home with us.

A beloved Morris County autumn tradition celebrated a milestone anniversary. The 20th Morristown Festival on the Green was held Sunday, Sept. 28 from noon to 5 p.m. Held rain or shine, the event draws 50,000 visitors annually and is the premier fall festival of northern New Jersey. "The Morristown Festival on the Green showcases the diversity and quality of our restaurants, wide range of retailers, hard work and outreach of our numerous nonprofit organizations and top-notch entertainment for all ages," added Karen Carvelli, director of development for the Morristown Partnership. The Trend Motors Team had a live DJ and gave away goodies and balloons, while guests were able to submit an entry guessing the number of balloons in our 2014 Beetle Convertible to be eligible to win a vacation getaway! Guests also had an opportunity to enter for a chance to win $50 gift certificates to the beautiful Highlawn Pavilion overlooking the New York Skyline.

We were happy to sponsor Chester Lion's Club 16th Annual Oktoberfest. There were over 10,000 people in attendance celebrating authentic German food and dance, with activities for the children and a car show displaying some timeless classics - including our Jetta and Golf! It was a success and we look forward to next year's event!
