St. Patrick's Day Parade 2026

St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Main Street is a family event to raise funds for local charities, awareness of our Irish heritage and highlight St. Charles’s community. The parade is founded on the Ancient Order of Hibernians creed of Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity.

AOH supports many charities in the area, but a few include:

The parade will begin in the Lewis and Clark Boathouse Parking Lot, travel Boone's Lick to Main Street, turn right on Main Street and follow down to Clark. The parade will then turn right on Clark, where it will end. Floats will travel along Riverside Drive to return to the Boathouse Parking Lot.
