2024 Martin City St. Patrick’s Parade Draws Thousands

The weather couldn’t have been better when a friendly hometown crowd filled the streets of Martin City! The St. Patrick’s Parade — our biggest community event of the year — drew thousands of families, friends, and local celebrities, from Fox4’s John Holt, Jess and Jim’s Steakhouse restaurateur Mike Van Noy, Chiefs Hall of Famers Bobby Bell and Deron Cherry, to Irish dancers, bagpipers, and Kansas City Chiefs Mascot KC Wolf.

We are grateful for Parade Title Sponsor Rob Sight Ford, and all other sponsors and supporters who made the annual event, and all its traditions, possible. Read more about our Parade, including its history.
