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 annual celebration brings the community together to honor Irish culture with nearly 100 marching units including bagpipers, marching bands, Irish dancers, and festive floats.
The parade begins at Waterwitch Avenue and continues along a one-mile route down Bay Avenue. Don’t miss the annual “Competition of Floats,” where local businesses and organizations compete in three categories: Best of Show, Prettiest, and Most Original. A trophy will also be awarded for Best of Apparatus.
Help support this non-profit event by purchasing a ticket for the “Lucky Pot of Gold” 50/50 Raffle. Proceeds help fund the parade, and the winner does not need to be present.
Enjoy free giveaways from parade floats, live pipe bands, and entertainment throughout town. Be sure to stop by one of Highlands’s many great restaurants to continue the celebration.
