The weather was sunshine-lucky 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, including our returning emcee, Fox4’s John Holt, and Kansas City Sports Commission & Foundation and Visit KC CEO Kathy Nelson — our Grand Marshall!
 

We are grateful for Parade Title Sponsor Blessings Abound Thrift Store, and all other sponsors and supporters who made the annual event, and all its traditions, possible. See you next year! Read more about our Parade, including its history.
