Highlands St. Patrick’s Parade 2026

Join us for the 21st Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Highlands on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Hosted by the Highlands Business Partnership, this popular community event celebrates Irish culture with nearly 100 marching units, including bagpipers, marching bands, Irish dancers, festive floats—and 95.9 WRAT cruising through the parade.

In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, this year’s parade adds a patriotic flair, blending Irish pride with red, white, and blue. The parade begins at Waterwitch Avenue and continues along Bay Avenue for approximately one mile.

The 2026 Grand Marshal, Mayor Carolyn Broullon, will lead the parade from Huddy Park. The Highlands Business Partnership will also present the annual Competition of Floats, with Highlands businesses and organizations competing for Best of Show, Prettiest, Most Original, plus Best of Apparatus.

Support this non-profit event by purchasing a ticket for the “Lucky Pot of Gold” 50/50 Raffle—no need to be present to win. Enjoy free giveaways, live pipe bands, and entertainment throughout town, and keep the celebration going at one of Highlands’ many great restaurants.
