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 will begin at Waterwitch Avenue and extend along Bay Avenue. The 2026 Grand Marshal, Mayor Carolyn Broullon, will lead the parade beginning at Huddy Park with hundreds marching along a one-mile stretch of Bay Avenue. Highlands Business Partnership will host the annual “Competition of Floats.” All Businesses and/or Organizations in Highlands will be competing in three (3) categories: Best of Show, Prettiest, and Most Original. In addition, a trophy will be presented for the 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.
